What do you think I'm doing now? It does *not* return the Xref: line.
All it returns is the eight items (article number, subject, poster,
date, id, references, size, lines). There is a ninth item that is
getting thrown away.

What are you trying to say?

You contend that I am wrong to teach my son science and
philosophy; I believe you are wrong to teach yours Greek and
Latin. Let us both follow the dictate of our conscience. Let us
allow the law of responsibility to operate for our families. It
will punish the one who is wrong. Let us not call in human law; it
could well punish the one who is not wrong.
