Wow, I didn't get a T-Shirt . . . nor do we allow advertising of any kind on PL . . . <<VBG>> Of course, this is for some very practical reasons concerning live animal sales and stuff like that, regardless of the awards potential.

I also remember when a 5-stick pack of gum was a nickle; when NSFnet and the various other Nets had AUPs; and when Usenet/Netnews was real hip. L-Soft international, Inc., being a commercial concern, markets and sells their products for a profit. The fact that they have any sort of consciousness about humanity is a good thing, the latest of which I am aware is a tsunami-BBS list. Going to their home page and doing a click or two [corporate/community relations], reverals many of their contributions http://www.lsoft.com/corporate/community.asp Thus, in a sense, they award various non-profits with the fruit of their profits. Truth in e-mail: I have received an L-Soft T-shirt. /Pete
