Hi there.
Due to budget cuts, this account will soon be terminated. After
reading, learning from, getting mad at, and above all else, being
entertained by the notes I've read on this system, I'd like to leave
one last posting on the 6 newsgroups I've gotten the most knowledge /
entertainment out of. This will certainly be my last posting, until
I get notes running on medusa. Look for me then.
Now, to appease those of you who don't like non-topical things in
your newsgroups, I include my last will.and.testament:
To news.misc: I leave you with the thought that I'll still give Mark
Ethan Smith an account on medusa, as soon as it is asked for.
To rec.arts.startrek: I leave you everyone on the NCC-1701D except for
Counselor Cleavage (oops, I meant Troi) whom I reserve for
someone else I know.
To rec.autos: I'll leave you my '78 Volare - you know, the one that got
recalled due to excessive rust - if you want her. I can't seem to
find the title to it anyway.
To rec.games.board: I leave the fact that it IS possible to lose in
Cosmic Encounter with the Clone/Machine combination, since I
did last night. Maybe next time I get that, I'll get a card
higher than a 12, once.
To talk.bizarre: What could be better than a list of all the quotes
I've been appending to my .signature over the years. They're
where they should be, at the end of my .signature.
To talk.religion.misc: I leave you with my prayers, that someday you
all will have open hearts and minds enough to read what is written
and answer what is being asked instead of taking things out
of context and insinuating hidden meanings that aren't
really there.
There it is.
It's been fun, it really has. Until I return from medusa, I remain
