Those are cool, any chance you can post them every month? It would be neat
to check them out, that is unless of course it would be considered too OT.

Hmmm... when I do a search here, it does not find
alt.aquaria.freshwater.plants but does find
alt.aquaria.freshwater.misc.

However, it also only goes to 12/31/2003 so it must only be updated
every quarter at the most.

The other problem here is that the report stated there were only 17
messages posted in alt.aquaria.freshwater.misc in December 2003...
seems like it is off.

The last thing I need is another incentive to spend yet more time in

magically appeared on my plate in the last week and my new class
starting yesterday.

Besides, I'd hate to have to slap you down and leave you choking in my

I certainly wouldn't mind, but I can practically guarantee that I won't
remember to.

They're super easy to generate with the newsreader I've just started
using (XanaNews).

You're probably very far behind him. I've got his various incarnations
in my kill file, and I suspect (though I don't know for certain) that
Xananews therefore doesn't count subsequent posts by him.

How will I ever make as many relevant, helpful and insightful
postings as he does?


The most direct path probably starts with a lobotomy :)

There's no "impostor", hehe.
It's probably just a mistake that Eric made typing it.

Considering my freakish sleep schedule, that's a reasonable assumption.
In this case though the stats are a one-click process with this news
reader. I didn't have to type anything.

Looks like a bug in the newsreader I'm using. As I look through all
your posts with this newsreader, sometimes you have two spaces,
sometimes only one. When I use my old newsreader though, it's always 2
spaces.

Maybe I'll forward this problem to the author's support group. From
what I understand, he's extremely proactive about fixes and features.

He's a Delphi programmer, as am I, and this newsreader is extremely
popular in the Borland newsgroups. Doubly so since he not only wrote it

And what's that first one??? Do people really use that? ;)
