Re: [ARCHIVES] Overhaul complete

Hmm, y'know, I don't think I'm old enough to slip into a reverie about
the 
old list, but I guess I can... though I think it's also seen through the

altered circumstances of being in college in those days. ^_-

Well, I know you were here before I was... I do have some messages saved

from my CMU days, but they are rather disorganized since I didn't have
much 
time to sort through 'em by the time I found out CMU was canning my 
account.  (Of course, six months later they come up with the policy of 
letting graduates keep their account & space... yeesh....)

And that was when you rotated your "From" tag every week or so.  Lessee,
a 
quasi-random sampling of Indy's ID tags:
"I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met."
"Out of my mind. Back in five minutes."
"SHADOW means never having to say you're sorry"

...and other such sundry comments. ^_^

Ah, well.  G'night!
