Dave

>2) Where do you live?

I'm not telling, and you can't make me!   What?  Oh, they
say you don't want an address, ok.  Buffalo, NY.

>3) What do you do for a living?

Temporairily retired.


>4) How long have you been reading alt.fan.lemurs?

15 minutes or so.  Local newsserver doesn't get it.

>5) What made you start reading alt.fan.lemurs?

Kept seeing crossposts and was pissed off that the local
server doesn't carry it.  Also got all the lemur gifs from
wuarchive and think they're neat.

>5) Do lemurs bang on your bedroom windows at night?

Hey, that's two question 5's! No fair!  But, while I have
no photographic evidence, I do believe that the sounds from
outside at night are lemurs.  They don't actually bang on
the window, there's a gutter on the corner of the house
that's loose, and it bangs in the wind, BUT sometimes it
bangs when there's no wind!  It HAS to be lemurs.  (They
couldn't bang on the window, the air conditioner is in the
way, despite it being Winter in Buffalo and there's a foot
of snow sitting on top of the air conditioner.)

>6) Do you ever have trouble with lemurs swinging on your kitchen lights or
>staying up all night to watch movies on your VCR?

No, I won't let them in the house.  I have enough problems
with the squirrels.

>7) Would you have any ethical or moral problems with spending 10% of your
>monthly income to keep your local lemurs happy and content?

Well, considering the answer of question #3, this is a moot
point.  Though, I do think it should be one of UWSA's main
areas of concern.  I cannot speak for those in other
countries.

>8) Have you ever given a lemur access to your computer or to your Internet
>accounts?  If so, what happened?

No.  I won't let them in my house to use the computer
directly.  However, if they can arrange for remote access,
they're welcome to have an account on it.  However, I will
not let them run X programs remotely.

>9) Do you let lemurs use your credit cards?

Well.. Let? No.  But I did have an odd entry on my bill a
few months ago from a pet store in Kentucky.  When I called
the store, they disavowed all knowledge of lemurs, so I
think there was something fishy about it.  I'm not really
sure about it, but I suppose they may have heard me phoning
in an order somewhere using my MC and got the # that way.

>10) What lemur-related question would you like to pose for the rest of the
>readership of alt.fan.lemurs to answer?

Hm.  Afraid I can't think of anything.  I'd go ask them if
they have anything to say, but it's windy out, so the
banging pipe is probably just the wind.
