[urq] Re: Needles and haystacks

[Robert Myers]

Huh?  How did I just get included on the urq list, Scott?  Or do you just
make it a habit of responding to the quattro list as a whole when you feel
like it?  I searched my entire database of old mails and found only one
with the word "haystacks" in the subject line.  Yours.  This one.  And this
reply of mine will most likely bounce from the urq list (as it should).
