Excuse me, I was mistaken.  It wasn't 150 messages a day.  It 
was 150 messages in a SINGLE STINKIN' AFTERNOON.  I can, if 
necessary, produce the archives, though since I have a dial-up 
connection it'd take another stinkin' afternoon to send it to 
you.

I didn't say they were all yours, Baron.  As you said, there 
were two or three people playing, and a few others who were 
telling you all to shut up.  It still amounted to a jaw-
droppingly large inbox.
