NOW LISTEN!  I don't need this shit from you.  When I first started
this system and asked for information, NOBODY gave me any help at all
so I figured it out on my own.  I tried to find the document again,
but could not because of problems with YOUR servers.

No, I don't *have* to include tho dots as long as there is a space as
the leading character (as I said in my original post)!  It works fine
without them.  Nobody ever said a word about the other packages I have
released.  If you *want* them included, then that is fine by me, but
be civil about it.

If you don't want my contributions then say so clearly and I will withdraw
my support of this system.
