Joe is a prime candidate for join the xfb list, where ducks are Gnomes, BB
are gooses (go xfb to find out why its not geese), and Aunty wears boxing
Gloves to spar with Cap'n RC. By the way, there are no rules there. Heh,
heh, heh.

The "xfb" list is for those discussions that wander "off topic" on the normal
"fb list", drive hard core programmers crazy, while consistently educating
and amusing others of us.
