My week started going to hell when wReam went:

>>>	Oh come now David, you certainly don't post enough in this group!  You
>>>need to join the LNH!  DAVID WE NEED YOU!  Come on bud, Friend, pal, chum?
>>>	DON'T RESIST YOUR DESTINY!!
>>>							wReam...
>>>						Ultimate Ninja of LNH...

Then came a small peep of intelligence came from Obscure Trivia Lad, most
beleagured of heroes, with:

>> Sheesh!  C'mon, wReam, leave the poor guy alone!  If he doesn't want
>> to join, he doesn't have to.  We haven't started conscription yet
>> (yet - mwah-hah-hah-hah-hah!).   If/when he wants to join, I'm sure
>> he will.  Until then, leave him be.
>> Obscure Trivia Lad, can't figure out why RosterwReam would want to
>> make his job any more complicated by drafting new members.

Thanks, OTL. Such wisdom from one so dead, it astounds me.

Then, comes back the Ultimate Ninja:

>	Perhaps this is one of those Danglers that needs to be resolved!
>What secret power does the DHenry hold and who shall possess it in the end!?
>The whole cosmic balance hangs in order to this catastrophic question...
>
>						wReam...

>P.S.  Or maybe the motivation is even more convoluted!  (I welcome any and all
>specultation!)

First off, gee, thanks, wReam.

I mean, I'm gratified by the attention and all, but don't you think *I*
should be the one to "welcome any and all speculation," since it's only my
name plastered all over this thread? Since then, I've been called the clone
of Rogue's son (who's the dad, that's all I'm asking), been compared (insults
of insults) to *Dazzler*, that one-trick hussy, and have had to bear a mailer
full of cheerful taunts from my friends, compatriots, and enemies on the net,
not to mention batting away annoying people who wish to talk, chat, or relay
with me to share the good news.

And, also, why "the DHenry"? It makes me sound like the Super Skrull, or
something. I mean, it's not like I'm a collective noun, or anything...

This is all good, clean fun, I realize, and heaven forbid that I step in when
y'all are enjoying a good laugh -- I enjoy laughs even at my expense. But I'm
just gonna say this one more time:

NO!

I am busy. I have other things to do. LNH interests me as much as rotting
kumquats. Less, even:  I can throw rotted kumquats at my coworker who's late
to relieve me for lunch. I said I may post a (non-LNH continuity) story,
if I find the time, to your alt.comics.lnh group. That's not an offer, that's
the facts.

That said, let me empty my barrel of George Bush waffles (soon to be
renamed to the Clinton Pick-A-Cause Box) and have it both ways:  if you
people dare to write about what my secret power is, make sure to keep me
informed. I, personally, can't wait to find out.
