Unfortunately the -current list archives do not seem to go back to 1994; I could reluctantly dig it out of my personal archives if I absolutely had to. It was something to the effect of: Terry: Why not? Garrett: Over my dead body... ...and left me feeling that there was no uncertainty about where you were standing on the issue. If you've changed your mind, fine, but the statement was *so* definite and unconditional at the time that it *really* stuck with me...
