Very few replies still come across as "To: All."              Not sure if that answers you question or not. ;)                      * SLMR 2.1a * Thesaurus: prehistoric reptile with a great vocabulary.       ---        þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/0 1 215 601 610 700 840 860 880       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
