   Hey Nick!

   A little worse for wear but yes I am not dead yet.  Still gettting probed and   
   scanned as they still haven't found the cause.

   Heh, heh.  I think the opposite but am unsure if he had anything to do with   
   it.  Seems to me that about 15-ish years ago, maybe more, MS came up with a   
   windows release where UTF-16 was the default, which of course wreaked havoc   
   given the lack of compatibility with standard 7-bit and 8-bit character sets   
   that everyone was using and still are.  Since MS adopted UTF-8 instead, I   
   haven't heard anything about that particular fsck-up since.   
      
    > I definitely wasn't serious   
      
   I am not surprised.

   Probably, but I do prefer the layout I posted as opposed to the glibc's   
   gconv-modules or 'iconv --list' and especially IANA's html page of encodings   
   and corresponding aliases.  The posting in this echoarea is more along the   
   line of file listings on BBSes which is vastly more humanly readable than   
   anything else I've seen.   
      
   HTML definetly sucks.  Beats me why anyone in their right mind would subscribe   
   to that format over plain text output, including (espcially?) UTF-8.    
   :::sigh:::   
      
   Life is good,
