No problem. I'll just add the "^L" thingie here.

God anything but *that*! :)

]Indeed (and it was clear to me that the role was realy set up for Ro).

]I liked them all), though she'll face stiff competition from Sisko.
 
It would be fun to see her throw Quark out the airlock (with a suit, though)
next time he gets to lecherous towards her.

Where do the Borg operate? Is it Delta or Gamma Quadrant?

]Nice to have him in the DS9 premiere, wasn't it?  He did a good job without

Picard meeting Sisko was <ahem> interesting.

"Have we met before, Commander?" -P
"In battle, at Wolf 359 Captain." -S
<yipe>

]Me, too. Good luck to it.  It certainly exceeded my expectations.

I agree, though the preview for the next episode makes it look like a 
different version of "Heart of Glory" with Kira replacing Worf and only
one vagrant fighter to sway loyalties.. I hope it will be good. We'll
see.
