Thanks!  It's one of my few Teonaht originals.  Maybe I should
change it to "I know why a billygoat has a beard."  But that's
taken from the Book of Taliesin, 14th century Wales (the manuscript,
that is).  Taliesin knows everything.  (the 6th century guy, that
is!  <G>)  Taliesin on the list probably knows everything, too, but
I can't vouch for him.
