I have had my own electric fence with a Sears 110v charger and never had any
noise, unless there was an arc. Note, however, that arsc will travel a
distance through vegitation and damp fence posts. Your neighbor with an elec
fence might not mind your occasional "help" mending the fence...

>Really, why do people repeat messages in reply messages?
Well, it has to do with the nature of store-and-forward communications. The
practice got started in newsgroups at least, perhaps on mailing lists
before that. This practice is perhaps as old as the Internet itself.
>Is there any GOOD reason to retransmit
>a message that has already been sent to everyone?
That's just the point. In a network as large and complicated as the
Internet, messages don't arrive in the same order as they are sent. So, if
you write a comment to Gene's message, and I happen to get your comment
first, before I've seen Gene's message, it won't make much sense to me.
>If you wish to comment on my observation, please don't repeat it.
Sorry, bad habit.

Ha! I outsmarted you! I wrote this message on a Mac, so your virus was
incompatable....

Kurt,
It's because if I said "I didn't like your posting" you wouldn't know
which one I was talking about. Unless you only had one controversial
posting lately, which, in my case, ain't likely.
But to include something in here about contesting,...
Does anyone have any idea how many stations I can expect to hear
working the Internet Sprint Contest next week? Tens? Hundreds?
It sure sounds like it should be fun.
73,
Dave, KZ1O
