You might want to know that trolling is now (or should I say currently?)
considered bad form on a.f.u. I doubt it's all that popular on most of
the megaboss number of groups to which you posted, but that's their

reluctance to write within 80 columns is intended as versimilitude.)
Followups trimmed.
