Harwell, I must sadly divulge the fact that you are not looked
upon as an authority on list history (no, that's nobody's name).

There is no need to reinforce that by displaying your utter lack
of knowledge of what went on on words-l. SHEESH.

>1). List Angel: Michael McMillan (?) named Karen this

A good example of how my small point has been missed. Mem didn't
NAME her that. The name was appropriated later.

>2). List Uncle: ???

Brad.

>3). Bandwidth Pig: I named myself this, and it has sort of generalized
>                   itself to include any regular poster to W-L

How would you like me saying that Jonathan Lord named you this? The name
came into your vocabulary only after he accused people of being bandwidth
pigs. After that you named yourself "bandwidth pig". Don Moore made some
half hearted attempt to reply to Jonathan Lord but he failed. Naming one-
self is the most popular way of getting named - and that's all I wanted to
say.

>4). Czarina: Rita was telling me this the other day, but I've already
>             forgotten ;-)

If you only acknowledged the other things you have forgotten, jeez.

>5). Don't forget Adam is List Honey, named by Rashmi

My aim was not to list pseudo-nomenclature on the list, but give examples
of a little-observed phenomenon. You haven't still realized that I don't
voluntarily take on disgusting jobs.

>6). List Goddess: didn't Dan name Natalie this?

Here I am slightly unsure, but I would point to Adam as the most likely
culprit. Dan is an utter newbie compared to me(*), and I remember List
Goddess being mentioned in the very early days of my life.

	Come on Graham, anyone can quote Bible text out of context.  Would you

That *is* the traditional bleat, yes.  The point I am trying to make
is that it's *impossible* to follow *all* the bible literally -
you *have* to pick and choose which bits you like.  And if you
start chosing to ignore bits because they don't suit you (I deny that
any of what i quoted was out of context - moral absolutes are
moral absolutes) then you might consider ignoring the rather obscure
bits about sexuality.

By the way, anyone who claims to take the whole of the bible
literally had damn well better be prepared to handle snakes or
admit their hypocrisy.

	Why don't you let go of this thread ....please?

I'm trying, really i am.  It's hard Lord, for I am but a humble
sinner and beg forgiveness.

As good an explanation as any, I suppose.  Must be quite a sight
for other drivers on Lake Shore Drive, though, watching you doing
75 and writhing around on the seat at the same time....:-).

You mean the part about all the <boring crap> of the past few days?
Or the part about ruth against the heathens?
Or the part about everybody expecting a pronouncement from me?
In any case, I am not surprised.  I am pleased as paunch.

That's about what I had figured.  They used to drive around in those '76
lowriders, at about 15mph, just to produce smog to obscure their activities.
We're just lucky that your meteorologists have satellite pictures and radar,
otherwise they'd never be able to see a storm coming!

CLoud cover!  Instead of ducking into it, they were *creating* it, and
bringing it dirtside.

Or is it sandside, what with the drought?
