Yup, and Kip was the only person that could get Wendy upset over an email
post. ( what was that post? Sally Stunthers Something or other) (Damn
that Sometimers memory lost thingy)
Its nice to read the old names again.

I have that post...somewhere...I know where it used to be, and I even know
the filename I saved it under. Darned if I know where it's got to now.
I can't seem to find it right now, but ~cats' tour of the grounds is
somewhere in that vast, black hole that is my saved mail folders.

Hasn't it been though?

Oh, you mean the post in which 'Sally' showed Kip in the Weasel
Bunker, with pillows duct-taped to himself, a colander on his
head, and a Weasel Poker (tm) in hand? That was one of the
funniest posts ever. I still have it somewhere. But my favourite
post regarding Kip was this:

Subject: Re: YKYBRTMHLLW
You daughter is watching Sally Jessie and you realize that there was a
married couple on the panel named Kip and Marina and you never realized
that they were that close. :-)
----------------------
That made Kip and I smile for quite a few days! :) :)

almost need Daniel Jackson in order to make sense of them.)

Reposts would be great. All the old list mail I've saved is on a computer that got shuffled off into storage before I had a chance to snare all of my old e-mail files.

If it was only a few years ago I was a Newbie, how come I feel such an Oldie
now?

Harrrrumph. And we thought that Danny was the Eternal Grad

Has anyone seen Kim Sefik lately? I remember a Highla-L Zoo post
that she wrote that was really funny. She was 14, I think, when
she signed on. I last saw her on a Dr. Quinn forum.
Oh well, back to my knitting.

Imagine a time far in the future, say 500, 1000, 2000 years. Some
archaeologist uncovers the Highla-L Archives, or Marina's stack of
posts. The archaeologist takes the disks back to his lab and
slowly, painfully deciphers them. Scholars, scientists,
anthropologists and theologians study them.
What would the scholars, etc. think of them? What conclusions
would they draw about life between 1992 and 2002?
ZK (a mere blip in time, it is)(I confess that I can't look at the
poker hanging on my fireplace without thinking of the Sally
Struthers post)

I'm sorry but Daniel Jackson is not currently available at the moment.
However if you have a scroll, stone slab or script you'd like to talk to him
about, leave a message on this Dial-At-Home Device and ten thousand people
will get back to you shortly.
Have a nice day.

It's not the years. It's the mileage. ;-)

I feel your pain. Daily. When my kid cranks up the radio. ::shudder::
Hugs,

Struthers, but does remember one or two really good Cybercons
