<P>Why not do both? It would be nice if you would do the first to help the libraries here get up-to-date; thanks.</P>

<P>Whose is the post at this link?<BR></P>
<P>The message about the HTML attachment is not mine;<BR>It links to a message which has some of my message;<BR>however the following (from the bottom of the link) is not mine:</P>
<P>"Don't get caught with egg on your face. Play Chicktionary!?" </P>
<P>That's not anything I ever wrote or included in an email! </P>
<P>I do not want this attributed to me; thanks. <BR>( although<BR>I have a few favorite quotations; </P>
<P>including one from the Peasants' Revolt</P>
<P>["If Adam delved and Eve span, who was then a gentleman?"]; </P>
<P>and another from O'Connor's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" <BR>[all this time she thought she was learning the business of love;<BR>but what she had learned instead was that every man and woman was a trade in himself and he was the only trade she knew"] </P>
<P>and Twain's<BR>["Man is the only animal that blushes, or that needs to"]<BR>and maybe <BR>Shakespeare in King Lear ["but from the girdle do the gods inherit; beneath is all the fiends'"--but alas, in cyberspace the gods do not even command the parts above the girdle, if they ever did]; <BR></P>
