Re: Standstill & countering spells

Thanks!

I am trying netcape, and I'm getting tired of looking at built-in ads,
having aol links appear randomly all over my computer, and having several
megabytes of hard drive space wasted. I bet this post gets sent in
unreadable rich text, too.

-War_Pig5, from Netscape hell

P.S. update I had to copy & paste this into OE cuz POS NS wouldn't even send
it. That's why it is readable.
