Naturally, I, too, have only ever insulted Terhune entirely by accident.
And the day his Poodles fail to catch him by the toes toppling into an
earthquake, I will be the FIRST to write his obituary!

OK, then. Just, keep your most important stuff isolated from the NET,
then, if you don't want any updates. Don't get lazy like I did &
ultimately keep a copy of your taxes on the hard drive! OK, bye.
