   That would certainly do it.  Not sure why it happened at the one bbs   
   that I noticed it at, though... it's still on its long-standing setup as   
   always... and I had thought he saved plenty of messages, but maybe not   
   that far back...  :)   
      
    SR> And it is very quiet here   
      
   I see that the dump seems to have generated some new life, anyway... :)
