[JDEV] charset/encoding thread

[Benjamin Kahn]

	After too many off topic posts on a mailing list he was subscribed
to, Ben Kahn today went crazy.  "ARGH!" Kahn was quoted as saying.   "This
is driving me nuts!  If I don't read my email for an hour or so, it fills
up with dozens of messages containing inane chatter about such things as
mail clients! I can't take it!"  

	It wasn't known at press time whether it was only the mailing list
which drove Kahn over the egde.  Sources close to the programmer claim
that lack of sleep, the phone continually ringing, and the noise in his
office and outside (he works in New York) as contributing to his outburst.  

	Kahn was not available for comment.
