Thanks -- I would be, too, and I work here.  (Maybe a gnome or two, though.
:-)

In which case, he's got a rather large problem on his hands.  But, life
ain't easy, you know, for a good little Egghead Salesdroid.  :-)

...or a Commodore 64 either.  I tell you, I just don't know how I sleep at
night. :-)

You tell 'em -- even if you *are* at the University of Frank Erwin. 
(Hey, nobody's perfect -- and any university that's right up the street from
the former site of the Armadillo World Headquarters can't be *all* bad. :-)

One good thing you can say for the entrance requirements at CSUS -- they're
a hell of a lot shorter (and cheaper) than at UT *or* Rice.

Dunno if I'd call it graceful, but at least I had the sense to not repeat my
mistake several score times.   (Borgie Boy might learn that, if he lives
long enough.)

I suspect Steve realized that, but he *does* have an agenda to push, so he
can't slow down for little annoyances like logic...

I didn't save it, but it was probably Suzanne growling at a few people who
she thought would threaten *her* hypothetical infant in an NICU situation.
(a reaction that, in the situation she posited, would be perfectly logical
for *any* parent, but of course it's wrong to Steve if the parent doesn't
happen to believe the "right" things)

So did 24,000 other readers in this newsgroup, excepting Chaney/Hall,
Nyikos, and Holtsinger, of course...

Amen to that -- and I'm still waiting for that first time...:-)

by the likes of Steve Chaney...:-)
