Does it hurt? I'd better not take the chance. Consider me still a player.

I heartily recommend that he vote/make a public message so that someone cannot immediately AWOL him again. --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: K 2 Subject: Re: Acka: Vynd Not AWOL Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 10:19:54 -0500 (EST) JT wrote: > Vynd has replied that he wishes to continue playing. > I heartily recommend that he vote/make a public message so that someone > cannot immediately AWOL him again. Declaring someone AWOL after they had stated eir desire to remine seems pointless.... I can't imagine anyone doing to anyone.

I can't imagine anyone doing to anyone. *shrug* I can (unfortunately) see someone attempting to do that. However, I hadn't noticed when I said the above that Vynd had actually replied to myself as well as the ackanomic list :) --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: joffraint@mail.utexas.edu Subject: Re: Acka: AWOL notices (WoHo, Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 11:14:50 -0500 (EST) >K 2 has noted and pointed out to me that the following players are AWOL. >Calvin N Hobbes: I've been sick with the flu since Thursday. My temperature is hovering around 102-103. Thanks to K2 for kicking a player when he is sick. :\ I'm still here. And I hope all the other players will not be drummed out. So many on the AWOL list have been here for years.

But seeing as how the subject line may not have been in accordance with rules which may or may not exist that determine what is a public message and what isn't... I'm sending this message too. Since you're all so curious, I have been very busy playing frisbee with Phoebe, these last few weeks. She's getting quite good.

I can't imagine anyone doing to anyone. I considered doing it to myself, after I pointed out that I was awol, and stated that I wished to continue play. I decided that it would be slightly silly. ruufs:wq ------------------------------ From: jobollin@iumsc4.chem.indiana.edu (John Bollinger) Subject: Re: Acka: Vynd Not AWOL Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 21:12:28 -0500 (EST) >ruufs:wq Ah, a vi user.

I am using the ability granted me by rule 99 to renumber this rule to 330155-127570. Kudos to anyone (other than the folks on IRC this evening) who can tell me why I chose those numbers :) --JT -- [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ End of ackanomic Digest V4 #58 ******************************
