   When I saw the name Rick Moen attached to this subject, I _knew_ this
was going to be part of the post.  
   Since Jacob objected and he's presently the person paying up for SMAUG's
domain, I'm willing to wait a couple of weeks.  If there is no plan by then,
I'll start meetings at Tiny's.

   I didn't know that.  I should check those out.
