READ ME (FAQ) Hm. Your ISP is an extreme example, most keep them for over a week. Even the one that my mother uses which is run from one lady in a 1 room building over a bike shop keeps them for 4 days.... My isp keeps article for over 3 weeks, so missing is rather hard to do. -- --randyg@slip.net --Randy Gardner
