finally we agree on something!  ;)  I with those darned Role Players would
change their name.

Another thing, if you know which usenet group to search, you won't get all
those hits.  Which leads me to believe you're not that familiar with usenet.
You should use powersearch and search only in comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc.  Or,
coming full circle, the search on my FAQ page does this automatically so you
don't have to know the name of the group.  Just try it.  Go my my faq page,
punch in RPG in the search engine.  Sure, you'll get a load of hits, but
they'll by 99.999999999% AS/400 related.  Try that at Search400.com...
hehehe...

Oh ya, I don't have an ISP for my site.  I run it on an AS/400.  So I do
have access to all my logs, refferrer and otherwise.  Most of my hits come
from News/400 (ironically enough).  

Oh ya, try WebFerret or Copernicus (sp?) if you want a real kick but search
engine.
