Or is a handfull of small pebbles?              ---         * Origin: nntps://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/101 426 1014 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 333/808 335/206 364       SEEN-BY: 342/200 382/147 2454/119 4500/1 5020/1042       PATH: 221/6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
