I get a address at CompuServe every time I post to Histarch "Undeliverable" as if I had posted to that person also. It has been going on for months. I usually just delete it as a "Postmaster Alert". I thought it was me but that's not likely, I've "crashed and burned" and reinstalled XP so many times it's the one unchanging fact in the whole cyber space that "posola" (Italian "it puts it" first cyberspace reference and painting at the Allbright Knox Gallery of Paul Sharits, a student once of his, "Posalo V/C". Interesting, in cyberspace it's one reference seems to be the eagle releasing Pinocchio, the wooden puppet on the ground) back.
