His argument is that Pearl Harbor instigated the US involvement in WWII and paved the way for Democracy and the US becoming a world superpower. While I agree with his argument, I don't agree with instituting _another_ US national holiday. Opinions? 2) Batavia, NY resident and 6 year hostage Terry Anderson is suing (or preparing to sue) Iran for funding the Lebanese terrorists responsible for his abduction.

Suing Iran isn't going to help anyone, including Anderson. Pressure for an apology maybe but I'm doubtful he'd get that - you never know really. Fiona Harold: "I find this very hard to believe."

We haven't successfully gotten Netscape to ship with http://www.fruvous.com as the default home page on their web browser yet, so each person has to do that manually themselves. I tried to point out that to Marc Andreesen, but he wouldn't listen. Alas, corporate tools like him don't see how much time it would save pre-setting up everyone's homepage to be what it should be. Anyways, welcome Marc to the land of Fruvous. It's a hilly land with trees and sheep and wooden fences that are half falling apart. At night, elves roam around and fix shoes while the little children sleep. And papa Elf, Chris O'Malley, maintains the best band website in the business at http://www.fruvous.com and you should check it out. It has the FAQ for this newsgroup and Tour Dates and new album information whenever it become available. It also has cool pictures that are great for just browsing around in. You should also tell all your friends about Moxy Fruvous too, because they need to know as much as you needed to know before Sara most graciously enlightened you upon the existence of these fine wooded pastures and shoe-fixing elves. Also, fix your Netscape to have http://www.fruvous.com as your homepage if you haven't already. It'll make Netscape run faster.

Hello Marco and welcome to the newsgroup known colloquially as `ammf' or `That daft newsgroup you keep reading! Do some work you good for nothing loafer!' by my boss. You are heartily recommended to unleash an internet arrow and make sure it lands squarely in the venerable old oak tree that is . It is maintained with a steady hand, wise head and redoubtable trousers by Chris O'Malley; one of the few men in MA that can cycle backwards uphill in a force seven gale. As to how long you went without knowing about Fruvous, this is a mystery. There are of course many people in this world who go their whole lives without knowing of Fruvous. Indeed the Bible says... `Lo, for they went forth with no Fruvous. Woe is to them.' (Book of BJ, v6). Furthermore Karl Marx was reputed to have picked up a copy of Live Noise in the Toronto branch of Socialist CDs Workers Collective stores, but before he could listen to it Leon Trotsky stole it from his CD rack during a fancy dress party. And would Edgar Allan Poe have been such an old misery guts if he had listened to the b album? We think not. Anyway, come in, post lots and if someone called Cchad asks for money then pretend you didn't hear him.
