Ahhhh!  Thanks, I appreciate the Henry's.  Now where did you put the easy
cha... oh, there it is.  Let me just settle down, put it in recliner mode...
and lets catch up on you doo-dahs.  Geez, would you believe it's been 5
weeks since I read this motley newsgroup?  Yup, I switched over to
net.bizarre where the crap-to-gold ratio is somewhat smaller than here.
Actually, I just stopped by to read Arndt's articles, but since you've been
so hospitable...

Well, looking over the place, I'd say things haven't improved much.  See
you're still letting those rib-tiddlers from net.politics jam the majority
of your stuff -- bet your 'rn' net.flame KILL file are 5K, at least!  Still,
a few bright spots... The Bible-thumpers and net.origins people seem to be
on vacation, or in remission, or trying to hear the Holy Trinity's voice
over old episodes of The Flintstones, so they're out of flaming range for
the nonce.  Nice of Ken to quote Brother Lex, tho' my knowledge of Rich is
not anywhere extensive enough to determine whether the shoe fits, etc.
Meanwhile, Ken boy, when did this serious streak getinnayur noggin'?  Few
people 'round here thought you'd been replaced by a PBS spokesperson.  Geez,
if I wanted historical retrospective I'dve watched reruns of Bonanza.  Leave
that to the future State Department Hi-Yos (you know, the ones they show in
the Beck's beer commercials -- if that poor Yankee geek graduate is drunk
enough to guzzle that stuff, you KNOW he must not have made it
summa-cum-nouveau-riche).

Say, we all got a kick out of that posting on that "Computer Flame" by Tom
Corcoran; sour grapes are almost as fun to watch explode as fireworks,
except they're a little stickier.  Guess all us single-minded hackers have
lost the Grand Vision.  But, seriously now, Tom, we can't have members of
the Harvard kitchen staff, even dishwashers like yourself, playing around
with Unix tools; we know it gives you a thrill to think that you're fooling
everyone into thinking you're some kind of rarefied upper-classman, despite
the breeding faux pas displayed in your writing, and that classic word which
no one in the social register would come NEAR to using, not if Wall Street
had crashed and Daddy had absconded to Brazil with his secretary and the
family gold certificates.  Nice try, though, and who knows, it might open
yourself up to a more creative career, like acting in commercials.

Well, thanks for the beer.  Nice to see you all again, and especially you,
Ken.  Hope to see some of y'alls non-flames over in net.bizarre soon.  Until
then, take care and.........................................................
