The strange thing is I can not find a single copy of the original post
and the entire thread is gone from a number of groups. The original
has been removed from Google as well. I've been able to trace it back
to all but the first post on a number of threads.

As I recall the original did not come from the US, but it didn't have
an IP (As I recall) IF it did come from the US I'd bet some one is
doing a lot of explaining.
