Packy,

You be a funny man but sending 4 identical emails of the same 
funnies probably cumulatively makes them less funny.

On a slightly different subject, Michel N. was my shorthand 
way of (humerously) renaming myself Michel Nostradamus (the 
famous French seer of the future) when commenting on what might 
be about to happen in American politics. 

As for Baal, what kind of software were you using which 
revealed the actual name of my PC? Every PC, indeed every 
computer has its own name. PCs running under a Windows OS 
(operating system) have the default name My Computer which 
can be renamed to the fancy of her owner. As for example
the jazz loving IT department at Austin Community College
through which we connect to the Internet have servers 
named ella and monk. I named mine after a inscrutable pagan
god requiring painful sacrifices (Baal). The computer
name doesn't show up in the headers of email messages which
suggests that you or your hacker friend(s) used some 
software to probe Baal's ports.

As for Roseanne, her new show seems to have disappeared 
from ABC after 2 episodes.
