Well I hope this thread continues in the abcdef form it's starting out
with. i'm _very_ interested, and if i must i'll go buy a copy of BT, but if
there is a cyber copy of it anywhere in the world that anyone has access
to, in english, please, don't ask first and please don't be shy, just hit
"reply" to this email, attach it as an attachment/doc/whatever, and hit
send, and don't worry about the megs coz i got cable and i'll also attach
something back in return, a gold ingot or anything else you want, a babe?
we got babes - -
