   niet om mij, ik heb vi", which is the EuroPoint's current default tagline.

   That is where it started.  Too bad the above is a corrupted version but that   
   is as close to tracking it down to the source as can be found at this writing.   
      
   Maybe mark lewis can come up with the original?  There is enough information   
   in the above to help track it down.   
      
   End transmission.
