TV Gnews is reporting that the villain is NOT (!!) a backhoe. Rather, it's a boring machine, the kind that rams a 10' length of rod into the ground, then backs up to accept another section. (MFS contractors used same here last summer. The nifty part is how the steer same 140' out and 20' down....) The strike is ~12' deep; Hell Atlantic & friends have 2 backhoes and considerable shoring on site at present. Servint.com was named as being knocked down by this. I am worried. Does this mean that OTHER kinds of machinery are now subject to Creutzfiber-Jakhoe disease? Is it being spread through Diesel fuel? -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & 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
