Thank you for tantalizing me with the hopes of civilized 
communication, and then dashing my hopes forever.  I don't
own a computer of my own (gasps all around, I know); I use
my girlfriend's computer late late late at night while she's
sitting on the couch behind me, falling asleep into a Rushdie
novel...The sacrifices I make for Bananafish...
Really, though, thanks for the info, but since I don't really
have free reign of this computer, I'm forced to use free online
email services, which don't offer even the most basic of Maslow's 
Hierarchy of Word-Processing Needs (yet send me a local weather
report twice a day...).  Hotmail does allow me to upload (I don't
even know if that's the right word) Word files...but that would
require a lot of preparation to write to Bananafish, and some
of you may have picked up my preference to post with the least 
cognitive effort possible.

Anyway, thanks.  Perhaps one day I'll acquire the luxury of
italics, and then I'll post incredible messages that will never
be misunderstood.

Brendan
