I was relieved to see postings like this one because I was beginning to

think I was going crazy. When I saw a posting yesterday expressing surprise

at the SWINE acronym, my reaction was "Huh??" That's when I decided that

how hurriedly I've been reading mail lately). I can't remember whether I

ever heard Raven McDavid use the SWINE acronym, but it certainly sounds like

him -- and is certainly a good acronym.
