[Coco] OT - Unlucky

[James C. Hrubik, Sr.]

It's OT stuff like this that makes the list fun.  Sure, it's vaguely 
related because it came up in a CoCo discussion, but I think we are are 
all the recipients of bad luck when irrelevant or extraneous parts of 
posts are not excised in the reply process.  And, as Jim Cox can 
testify, not clipping out extra bulk leads to misunderstandings of who 
said what, eh Jim?

So now we all learned some fascinating trivia that might be useful some 
day [ yeah, I never throw anything away; drives my wife nuts].  Thanks, 
Alex.
