Yeah, there is one of these in Costa Mesa, where I went with a bunch of folks
from work about a year ago.  Be prepared:  It's hokey as hell!  It was fun,
sort of, but mostly for the audience participation.  It was about as unreal
as you can get, particularly since I had expected something more along the lines
of an SCA joust.  It's more like something you would find in Las Vegas, IMHO.

I've had a few of these kids come by my house also, but I didn't mind.  Usually 
these kids are selling a 3 month subscription at a reduced rate.  What I would
do is to go ahead and take the reduced rate, even though I already get the 
paper 7 days a week.  Basicaly what happens is that when what I have already 
paid for runs out, the next 3 months I get the paper for the lesser amount.
After which it goes back to the normal rate.  I don't get two papers, I just
save some money.

We used a buyer's realtor. This is a pretty unfamiliar process, at least to the
realtors we dealt with. Our realtor was Bobie Bremond at Westend realty. 
She was very helpful and indulgent with my extremely nervous wife.

She helped us aquire a home which I like a lot.  You should be aware that
the standard buyer's representative contract is for a full year.  It seems
to me that you can negotiate any period with your realtor.  Also you should
be certain you like the person before contracting whith them.

Since most realtors try to work for both the buyer and seller, even though
they only legally represent the seller, it is probably unnecessary to enter
into such a relationship.

	Anyways good luck in your house search.

After finding out that the SF channel is premiering Sept. 24th I called
Austin Cablevision to ask if they are going to carry it.

I was told that the earliest they can carry it won't be till next year.
And in order to do it they would have to "bump" something else off.
I asked if this was due to bandwith limitations and the answer was yes.

There is a chance of added bandwith.  But IMHO based on Austin Cablevision's
record I wouldn't bet on it.

I was told that the more people who ask for it the better the chance of
getting it.  I said I wanted it and was asked for my name and address.

If any of y'all are interested in having the SF Channel call Austin Cablevision
at 448-1000 and speak to a human and say that you want the SF Channel.

Disclaimer:

I am just a science fiction fan who wants the SF Channel in Austin.

Is there some reason that I =should= change my opinion?  Is there some
non-obvious reason that you =shouldn't= just change your opinion?

I ask this question because people seem shocked and amazed when they give
free advice and someone doesn't take it.  Since they usually see it as a
character flaw in the individual receiving the advice, I usually like to
point out that people =are= different.  You want to use smilies, you go
ahead and use smilies.  I'll live my life, you live yours.

If you understood sarcasm as well as you are claiming you do, you'd have
gotten the very first original posting.  But I'm not saying that
understanding sarcasm (and conversely NOT understanding sarcasm) is good
or bad.  Clearly, though, saying ``You do know how to spell "newgroup"''
is a sarcastic way of suggesting that someone issue the Control: message
themself.  Whether it is important to "get" the meaning is a different
matter.  You didn't, and that's perfectly OK.

This appears to be a case where *you* do not know *me* well enough to be making

a very high level of disagreement to the above statement as directed towards me.
I understand sarcasm quite well.  Admittedly your comments do fit the general

I found something I can agree with you on.  Shock me to death.  I may need
