        An excellent idea. And those of us who will be in the dark because
of our digest format will be sending good karma throughout the trip,
thereby ensuring that B&G have a resonably uneventful return to the land of

        Viel Gluck, Mein KameradsVolkswagens. Und mien apologies for my
sloppy German...
