Re: goodbye..

I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THE NOISE PLEASE!

Seriously, the noise is what makes me come back.  If there's anywhere in

the world a discussion about the armor properties of a stegasaurius (or 
however the hell you spell it) can be debated with some of the sharpest 
minds I've met, it's on this list.

After saying that, I realised how easy it was to "Select All" "delete" 
the 450 unread messages in my gzg folder (all my gzg emails are 
autoforwarded (excpet for a brief moment when they were coming from some

other funky list that I had to unsubscribe from).

Hmmm.  maybe I don't HAVE to read them all.  If the subject line catche 
my interest, then I'll dabble, if it don't, I'll delete willy-nilly.  I 
HAVE THE POWER <he yelled pointing his sword at his welles-ian cat>

putting on my asbestos underwear, I retreat back into the shadows
