Where is this coming from? I seem to cause it to appear in some of my
posts... not that I want to. Only some. I have html turned OFF in NS

I can say that I won't. But you're right. Push hasn't come to shove for
me, has it? So all I can make is idle claims.

Disagree. I think you need to be moral when times are hard as well. I
won't claim to be perfect so I won't claim that I will always do the
right thing. I haven't been tested. But I feel I SHOULD die first rather
than steal from another.
