Dare I say? rm seems to have been truly sucked up into the wonderful
world of Vista. Maybe Vista doesn't let him post to news groups...

Vista: Do you really want to troll usenet today? Yes or No

Roger: We aren't a troll! Ask us nice!

Vista: Do you really want to troll usenet today? Yes or No

Roger: Bugger off Vista. Cordially as always, rm.

Boy, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren't you? Which
is more cheesy? Quoting the polar bear hunter or calling us names?

What's the matter? Did you miss us? We are the only one who actually
reads your crap, let alone, responds to it. That must be it.

In case you were wondering, we actually prefer linux to vista. Old
habits die hard. What's your excuse?

Of course, if we knew vista better we might be able to land a job. We
did apply for one up in Alaska, at Floyd's Polar Bear Roadhouse, making
Floyd's Polar Bear Stew. But we haven't heard back yet. Apparently
Floyd uses sendmail from the command line and he seems to have
overlooked us. But that shouldn't be a surprise, because, as old-timers
will recall, Floyd likes shooting polar bears with a .22 long...

Floyd is probably out getting a tan. Alaska's summer is this week,
isn't it? Or do they have their summer next week?

cordially, as always,

rm

I did rather wonder where you'd gone. If it was on a holiday I do hope
you had an enjoyable time.

Your involvement, as always, adds a certain piquancy to the proceedings
of this newsgroup. I'm sure that others will also savour your return
to our discourses.

It could be he was in the hospital recovering from a lobotomy. Perhaps
he'll be smarter now.

Indeed. Now all we have to look forward to is the return of ANC.

Come on admit it , you've got a mojo for calling him up. You mention his
name at 01:41:12, (by my clock?), and there he is at 04:23:11! (See
OT: BEA Diary).

LOL! That's friggin hilarious, isn't it?

As someone else mentioned, it's gotta be related to Friday-the-13th...
