No, I'm not.  The material I posted was from the AFU FAQ, not original.  I
make no such claims.

BTW, the parenthetical comment is not being offered as "proof" by the
authors, either; it's simply additional possibly useful information.

...one of which is cited in the post you are responding to.

My ironic intention was to put a stop to Yet Another off-topic thread that
tends to circulate on Usenet endlessly.  Once a particular one infects a
newsgroup, it never goes away.  Since HP3000-L is echoed to comp.sys.hp.mpe,
it qualifies as a Usenet newsgroup...

At least the thread about what the "T." in "James T. Kirk" stands for hasn't
hit us yet...

...doh!
