Assuming this action is successful, the RBBT is now in the possession of Blest Lax Monk Pal, and unusable for 2 weeks. --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: Towsner Subject: Acka: CFJ 720 (JT) Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 17:16:09 -0500 (EST) Call for Judgement 720 - January 17, 1999 Subject: Remind me: Which thread are we in anyway?
