No, it's ah...sampling. Viva los postmodernistos! 

I'll be glad to do the pointer for anyone who asks, and I don't imply
that it's me. Think of it as a delayed attibution. I'll think about
what Greg said, but I honestly feel that once *any* name is pasted on
a .signature, the whole content is put into a box. I'd be inclined to
think that the Kate Bush stuff in his .sig line might be more Randized
Rush drivel without a signature, for example [and thus bring a crowd
of howling Shi'ite Bush supporters screaming for my blood for
blaspheming their goddess down on me :-| ]. You see my point?

By the way, I appreciate the kind tone, Greg. Pay no attention to the
Nina Robe .signature line quote. Actually, the author's name is an
anagram....
