Yes, well if it helps your measurment of PO reliability I just got my
;login: yesterday (2/27/91). Of course I'm over in San Francisco so
they could have walked it over to my apt. :-)
BTW Now that postal rates have climbed is it possible to consider
alternatives to Snail Mail ?? I personally don't know of any, but I am
looking.

George
