Michael (and Jim listening on the side), was it Joe? I can't remember now,
but it'll live on forever.
Jim: It may even be a couple years ago now Joe Curry made that typo in a
message and started a thread on the finer points of distinction between
fluid and fluif. It has resurfaced from time to time. Fork oil ought to do
well, thanks for the idea.

One typo, I'll buy...18 or so means that either you don't have to be a good
speller to get out of law school - OR - Joe will NEVER live this down!! I
suspect the latter.
Don't know the answer to your question, Jim, but I couldn't just let it
go...8^)
