        Jared/all,

        A joke is exactly how I read it and is how I meant my request for
HELP to
        come across :).

        Btw, thanks to everyone for interesting replies, reaffirming my grim
        suspicions about MS idea of "archiving"...

        I thought everyone would realize this is a joke.  It's been
        appearing with some regularity in a mocking tone of
        someone that posted it seriously a couple of weeks ago.

        Sigh...  Maybe I am just having a bad day.
