Damn!  I started thinking about old people on computers.  Then I thought
about old people on computers and AOL.  Then old people on computers, AOL
and then on alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.seniors.  Then I thought about
old people on computers,AOL, alt.b.p.e.seniors, And viewing senior porn
in Outlook's newsreader.  Thne my imagination filled in the blanks.  Now
I'm disgusted :)
