of course I don't really care.

I do pop in here every once in awhile just for old timeses ache.

I see George and Arny are still here. Who else is currently here that was
among us 10 years ago? I suspect that some of the new names I see are some
of the old timers. If you feel like it, drop me a note. You can use rao at.
netsurfshop dott com.

Does anyone know how to get a note to the nut known as graham aka The Devil?

Thanks Bob. I think you started hanging here about the time I started
leaving. I'm very familiar with the recording he made of his conversation
with Arny. I probably still have a copy of it. The common knowlege 10 years
ago was that he wrote under a different name and had a lot of money. Why do
you say he's a controversial literary figure?

So - no one's still in touch with him? If you are, tell him I'd like to
contact him. Give him my email address. He can decide how significant I am
to him.

Except he wasn't. At least not in the factually correct sense.

Yo Tom! Glad to see you posting under your own name again. So to speak.

Not a one. I used to have some of them, but I deleted them when he went
shrieking into the darkness.

Oh wait, I found one. This is from 3 years ago:

I love you, man. I tried it. We'll see what happens.

I feel really out of touch. So many changes and yet so little change. I
don't see any familiar names except you, Arny, ScottW...

I'm not joining your church if that's what you're hoping for.
