Patrick,
When Martin Sheen gives all of his resources to his various causes I
will listen to his blabbering. Until that time, I do not wish to hear
from him, BaaBaa Streisand or Al Gore about their various social
interests.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: So don't bother listening to BaaBaa or
Al (the bore) Gore or Martin Sheen. They thought of a good scheme to
relieve you of your telephone excise tax is all. The intent of the
message was remind you once again to claim your bottom-line refund
attributatable to your telephone tax; a refund which won't come around
again anytime soon. I wish I had thought of that scheme first, in fact
maybe I will get a patent on 'software intended to divert government
guilt feelings into moderator greed payments' and use it in the future
whenever a telephone-related message comes along inviting you to dip
into Uncle Sugar's largesse or deep pockets. I'll run the message
through my 'computer program' (a) announcing the new gift from Uncle
and offering to collect it as your agent for you and pocket it in my
own vast treasury of wealth instead and (b) sending you a slip of
paper signed by Uncle Sugar thanking you for your continued
patronage. If/when someone else develops the idea further and I start
getting slim pickings (like now) I will sue BaaBaa and Martin Sheen
and the others claiming they ripped off my idea. PAT]
