     I therefore propose that we, as Alt.1ders, respond forthwith and create a Cascade, whereby each contributor/reader of Alt.1d adds their name, organisation, and location with a ditty (NOT MORE THAN 2 LINES).)

     But then you can't see when the mailman goes by (and get cards from fellow alt.1ders - *hint*)

     [OOO slips out the door before the angry mob of alt.1ders blocks it off. They move on past him, acting as a single mind. Someone in front holds what appears to be a thermonuclear device. It is Sir Spam Spam Spam Spam Silly Troll (Spam Spam Spam Spam Silly is his middle name). OOO has been told the mysterious object is not, in fact, a thermonuclear device, but only a case for a smaller, more efficient explosive, but you never can tell with the Troll. OOO would finish the story for you but he ran so fast the other way he has no idea what ended up transpiring. Well, maybe some idea...]

     Ok, alt.1ders, it's time for a poll, how many of you think that the reason Flyman is acting so damned beligerent is because he looks like Jeff Goldblum did in "The Fly" when his nails and teeth and ears and stuff started falling off his face????

     BTW, you mentioned before about a comprimise between yourself and the new kids coming on over here. Well, I'd like to be the...third or so to extend my hand <extends hand really far, like Inspector Gadget used to do> in diplomatic friendship. I've been reading your stuff for a while, being a fan of less-trafficked groups. I think overall all us alt.1ders and yourself will get along fine. :-)

     Go for it dudes. Kiss the alt.1der to your left and hug the one on your right. And no squabaling.
