Subject: sequipedalian?!!

          Can someone with access to a half-decent dictionary provide
          me with a defintion of "sequipedalian"?  Perhaps even
          Gabriel himself can do this...

          Lori, now more fond of Henry James than when forced, as an
          undergrad, to read him by a sloppy, mumbling, white guy with
          a badly maintained beard.

You have my gracious permission :-^) to use any words you like, but *NOT*
to put ones I didn't use in my mouth.  There's nothing odious about the
word family, I never said there was, I use it myself in the same kind
of way you're talking about, it's just as standard in these parts, I
was trying to make a point about the concept of community values as
contrasted to "family values," gosh I guess I've had enough coffee today!!!

Subject:  OLTL--Tooth gap

I have been taping and watching OLTL--I won't spoil the good
   synopsis being given on Gaynet--but wanted to say that I
   am definitely saving Friday's hour--it was tremendous--I
   wanted to stand up and cheer--even thru my tears--at almost
   every turn--(and what is this dark secret that Sloan is holding
   within him--child abuse??).
A good friend came in and asked me about the British sitcom "Are
   You Being Served" showing on PBS--his question had to do with
   young man who plays the stereotypical gay--why he had a tooth
   missing--ie., was this by any chance a "gay signal"--I told him
   I would enquire of my massive resource--Gaynet--how about some
   of you Britishers--have I missed something--my friend's argument
   was based on the fact that very few actors or actresses would
   generally appear with a missing tooth--Merle

Subject: Melrose Place & One Life to Live
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 92 00:05:29 EDT

I just talked to a friend of mine whose friend is an intern on Melrose Place.
 He has seen the script for the first 12 episodes and there is NO major
plotline involving the gay character!!  Apparently when the writers tried to
explore the gay issue, FOX would get nervous and ordered several re-writes.

The so-called coming out episode with Matt's brother never materialized on
episode as promised (from Advocate) and all the queers who tune into the show
must be wasting the time since next week's episode is #8 and I didn't see
anything to do with Matt on an advance sattelite feed.

On the other hand, ABC's One Life to Live's gay plot is coming to a
conclusion this Monday.  Friday's episode with the AIDS Quilt and Billy's
coming out to the church members were the most emotional and moving episode
so far!  Even straight viewers agreed with me on the Genie computer network!
Everyone should write a letter thanking the network and the producer.

I just arrived back on campus and reset my email account, so if you sent

I finished and submitted my proposal for the gay radio show and it went
through.  Thanks to everyone who helped.  If everyone would like, I can
upload it to the system. The only change I was forsed to make was the name.
Originally it was 91 Queer, then 91 out of the CLOSET.. it is now
91 derful... oh well.. politics.

The highlight of my summer was the Orlando Pride Parade when I had my
picture in the local paper.  I am willing to send this to anyone who
is interested.

Again, hello all from Vanderbilt in Nashville,  Tennessee, and I am
looking forward to hearing from all of you!

I have run into that error as well.  What I found causing this was trying to
compare a numeric field to a character, or a character field to NIL.  I don't
believe this happens with the '==' operator (I don't think, but I may be
wrong), but I have had it happen when testing for less than/greater
than/unequal.  Check to make sure your tests are of the same type, and make
sure that they are not NIL.  This should get rid of the error.

Hope this helps.
