Hi -

Quick! Let the UN know that the National Income and Production
Accounts (NIPA) are **all** wrong! Here they thought they were

I've seen things you newbies wouldn't believe.  Attack-morons aflame off 
the shoulder of rec.arts.sf.written. I watched Cancel posts glitter in the 
ether near the waikato.ac.nz gateway.  All those moments will be lost in 
time - like beers in the rain.  Time to unsubscribe...
