Yes, I see what you say.  I suppose I just felt
embarrassed when I nearly copied my file, error
and all, into a document I am writing that lots
of other might just read....

I was also a bit surprised that it seemed to be working....
I guess I was simply not using any IP broadcasts
in reality out of that interface.
