?? Not familiar with that one I guess. Impressed with
your justifying the text of your responses!

Alas, the speed with which the Net evolves. Net-naive nitwits
who flocked to AOL would often quote entire long postings then
add "I agree", "Me too" or similar. So "AOL" became a synonym
for agreement -- in a fun way, of course. You don't _have_ to
quote everything before using it, let me hasten to add.

The justification: a long running game of mine, plus a writing
exercise. Quite easy to do, after some practice. :-)
