I guess this is my que...

I'm Lee (AKA GreatOmnipotentGodInLeather <- Adrian thought of it...), 
one of the "old farts" around here... (HI Lis, HI Paul...)

I'm a real-time systems programmer for the National Observatory in
Tucson Az.  I'm madly in love with Michelle ( who's beauty and
intelligence are proof there  must be a god...) and am squandering
obscene amounts of money and vacation leave taveling to Chicago
whenever possible.  --Like 11 hours from now :)

I'm in line to be the official contractor of the RFA whenever Lis
decrees that building a fireplace is as good as writing about one..

I also have a bad habit of getting jealous and challanging guys to
duels when I think they are getting to friendly with Michelle ;)

Hi Dan, I'm not from Bloomington Indiana, though I know someone who goes

anyway...you were asking about us, right?

This is the second time I've done this!  To be totally 
honest, my life has been filled with "amnesia and confusion"
lately.  Maybe you have a potion that might help me with
this?  :-)   The GRW smiles warmly and looks at Gandalf

like your robe.  Don't know about your spells yet!

Now hold it, just one minute.

Hey, Liz!  Did you get that spot-the-lurkers-and-identify machine
fixed yet?  You were supposed to have that fixed WEEKS ago!

How can we tell when people like him are reading about us, without it??? Hmm??
I mean, come on...  lets get crackin' here!

Who _knows_ how many lurkers are out there?  We need that machine so
we can identify and get Clare to welcome them!!  (*NOBODY* stays a lurker
when CLARE welcomes them! :) )

Ah well.  Maybe it just costs to much, and it's not in the budget...

Unfortunately, we misspelled it.  It should be "roll call," and it
refers to checking a list of people (the roll) by calling out their
names, to see if they are present.  "Role call" might have something
to do with the theater . . .

Anyway, two welcomes are better than none :-)

	Good thing I know you...

	But I have to disagree with the point #2 and forgiving.  I
don't think any non-religious person would be unforgiving about your
inabilities.  Though they will view it as a physical or mental
disorder instead of a religious one.

	And the last part I disagree with.  Half of the population IS
wrong.  The problem is: we will never know until we die.
