Stale glue being served by the GTLD servers. This is in the FAQ, but
it seems like that one is down for the moment. (Doug? Want/need a
mirror? I would be willing to provide one. Contact me off list if you
are interested and we can arrange the details.)

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
