What an amazing reaction! Excuse me while I make a little prayer,
In case you don't know, the mark-up for a prayer in usenet is
[/*p-- ... --*/p]

[/*p-- God Almighty, thank you for making it an almost
overwhelming probability that wherever a madman contacts me on
usenet, he is a long way from the Big Brown Dry Land. I will be
good today for sure, O Mighty Creator of the continents and the
big and deep moats - oops, I mean seas - in between. Amen --*/p]
