I sent the test fic because GTE in its infinite wisdom deems it necessary to
send any and all messages to the FFML also to UU.NET.  Unfortunately, the UU
Net police are not happy receiving the results of my labors.  They have
complained to GTE about my emailing them.  I am in a Catch 22.  I'm being
told not to send anything to a place that I am not sending anything to.  If
I want to send anything to the FFML without a response from UU.NET, I must
do it from work.   For some reason, they frown upon me writing and posting
items to the FFML from work.

That''s the reason folks.  If you still feel the need to flame me.  Go for
it.

Otherwise, my apologies for wasting your time,

Mike Allen
