	One of many solutions:

	0 - 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 + 9 = 1

	Another:

	0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + 8 + 9 = 1

	Pair (8) with (3,5), (6) with (2,4), giving each half of each pair
	opposite signs.  That leaves 0,1,7,9; clearly (0 + 9 - 1 - 7) = 1.

	I guess they don't make Mensans like they used to.

Accidents are fewer in Europe at high speeds because our roads were designed
for the speeds allowed.  Yours aren't.  I've been on big roads in the states
where the camber actually goes the wrong way.  You can't say "Well, if the
Germans can drive at 140 then i will too..."

The point I was making was it doesn't matter whether terrorists were involved

Now, I don't understand the game at all.  Why shouldn't people post their
Round 2 answers to the list??  All they're doing is guessing what the
majority of people on the list think, right -- so, why the secrecy??  And
what is ggs going to announce after the whole contest is over?   (Like

Subject:      Frequently Asked-to-Natalie Questions

The words-l FAtNQ

(Newbies, read this before you post.)

In this post we summarise the responses to various questions which
are asked Natalie often enough to justify - um - this post. All the
key phrases have been capitalised for easy reference.

PART 1: Computer Questions.

Q. What happened to Arnold Wilberforce?
A. His MAIL STARTED BOUNCING, so Bernard has set the acct nomail.

Q. Uhh, you look like you want to say something more...
A. Right. I have sent a mail notifying Arnold, but AS USUAL IT'S
   BOUNCING TOO.

Q. Any way that can be stopped?
A. Only the system people there can do it. I can't imagine WHY PEOPLE
   PREFER BITNET TO THE INTERNET.

Q. Well, it probably has its advantages ...
A. The only one is that I CAN SEE MY MESSAGE ZIPPING THROUGH THE NET.

Q. I don't see those on my pc.
A. I don't know how it is with dos. UNIX, on the other hand, IS SO
   SENSIBLE AND HAS MNEMONIC COMMANDS.

Q. "rm" doesn't sound mnemonic to me ...
A. Well, that's the ONE COMMAND I HAVE ALIASED TO "DEL".

Q. Oh, that's like, uh, dos, right?
A. Well, I do use dos too. I LIKE USING DEQVIEW.

Q. Hey then why don't you use ...
A. But MICE ARE SO STUPID!

Q. But ...
A. Except maybe on those MAGIC SUNS where you can SEE GIFS WITHOUT
   DOWNLOADING THEM.

Q. Oh, gifs! Where can I get a program to view them?
A. It's AVAILABLE BY ANONYMOUS FTP at ra or isis ... whichever of the
   SUNS LOCKED IN AN EMBRACE that FWP HAS MAGICALLY SET TO FTP.MSSTATE.EDU.

Q. I don't have ftp!
A. EVERYBODY HAS AN FTP FACILITY.

Q. I say "ftp" and nothing happens ...
A. Maybe you don't have a client installed, but the -facility- is always
   available.

Q. Uhh, guess I was just sloppy with words ...
A. WHO IS "SLOPPY" WITH WORDS?

Which brings us naturally to:
PART 2: The English Language.

That part of the FAtNQ list will be brought to you sometime in the future,
when a need is felt ...

Oh?  So far, I've noticed only one insulting posting in relation to the
game.  And it wasn't from Giggles.  It was from the person who is now
pretending that Giggles is doing the insulting/humiliating.  (I didn't
see this ironic posting -- the one marked with >> -- until it was quoted
in the one I'm replying to since I finally started an automatic kill for

That's not exactly how I thought it worked, but it's close.  I figured I
must have something confused because I couldn't understand the purpose of
Round 2.  I thought that the "winner" would simply be the person whose
Round 1 answers were most like the majority answers -- i.e., the person who
thinks most like everybody else.  Now I see that you don't have to share the
views of the other people -- you have to guess in Round 2 what those other
views are.  Right?

One thing that I was concerned about was whether you were going to post
the Round 1 responses -- as in who was named most often as "most obnoxious"
or whatever.  That was never part of the game, was it?

Which is, my dear Torkel, why all my stories are written in the past
tense. After I had a minor disagreement with another rider which left a
permanent subcutaneous scar on my left ankle, I hung it all up. However, I
would not take a million dollars for those memories, because they were
some of the most intensely fun experiences I will ever have.

Graham,

     Come quick.  Someone else is posting from one of your many accounts.
Even though I have to skip over large portions of Archives, I had seen
Tushar's prior quote that you were playing on.  I just took a <left
turn> from the original.  Didn't know you were wo committed to the
<straight> and <narrow>.
