RE: Egonomics

["Andrew M. Benhase" <abenhase at gte.net>]

Zain and list:

I have also commented on the exhaustive
fascination that some
people have with the size of their genitalia and
their apparent need
to impress others in the past. Unfortunately, my
requests have gone
unacknowledged.

This list is for technical discussions to inform
and generate intelligent
discussions for the benefit of the development of
the Internet. Nothing else.
Please attempt to keep this list germain to these
discussion points and
ONLY email a person directly to discuss other
issues!

Thank You,

A Concerned List Recipient-
