See <http://www.underspace.com/> About a year ago, a woman in a new tract house out by Dulles died after the basement filled with gas & it exploded. The line had been nicked -- suspected cause: the electric utility laying THEIR feed. Every few years, someone hits a LPG line and turns into marshmallow. A public housing building in Chicago was destroyed when a gas line was hit -- ?18 months? ago or so. -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
