    Pretty cool idea, no?  I couldn't help but join the pool.  I'd spent
a lot of time worrying about stratums and whether I could get permission
to use a clock or not worry so much...but with the pool, the load is
balanced, and everyone there _wants_ you to use it.

    Somebody is decidedly deserving a big 'attaboy', I'd say.

    Neat, huh?
