I don't know, I give you ultimate power and you use it to make yourselves puny again. You bring shame to the name Diktat.

Anyone in favor of me restricting the posting to the lists to members only? I'd rather not since it would make it harder for some on-ice players to return if they'd unsubbed (they'd have to resub first). However, I also don't want spam like this showing up. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Acka: Phoebe (JT) Date: Sun, 03 Jan 1999 16:27:52 -0500 (EST) Jenny forgot to post Phoebe's wisdom in time. I missed this until today (my apologies, I will only plead that my machine has been being worked on and I kept forgetting to start up my reminder program). JT has found phoebe's matchbox. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Acka: NonPlayerhood achieved Date: Sun, 03 Jan 1999 16:40:47 -0500 (EST) marsboy became a Non-Player on December 29.
