What do you mean that you must include ID? Someone must give an email address, or phone number? Should be ok to fit one of those in the remaining 24 - 32 chars.
ID once meant name, address and telephone number, now a name, tel num and e-mail is okay (along with "Advt"). The NYT claims it owes this to its readers to show who's not who. The "ads" are called "reader notices" by the NYT, which calls to verify the bona fides of the purchaser. And they will not publish everything requested (no vitriol, darn it). There's vetting but mawky pleas swing the censor, indeed, the vetter seems to boost haywire to keep the mad buying. Is that not a Brit legacy, too?

I used Alta Vista's Translation Service at http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate? and selected the "Youngspeak to English" option, with this slightly more comprehensible result: "There vetting, but mawky pretexts swing the censor indeed cousins seem to load haywire in order to hold the furious purchase. Isn't that a legacy Brit, also?" I think it is saying something about how our British cousins get furious when then have to buy censored legacy applications and the slithey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
