Errr...Rand...or Doc'. :)

People don't address me by my last name. My first is weird enough. ;)

Anyway, depending on what you want, I may be able to help you. Basically, I
don't have time to write large posts at the moment (I'm working on one with
James, but that'll be it, at least until November), but if that isn't what
you're after, I can probably help. I just need more info.

Btw, one thing, Jermaine...

Actually, two things.

1. Don't use a signature AFTER the time/date stamp, not even if it's one
that's appropriate to the character posting. The time/date stamp IS the
signature in the Shadowrun world. It's the last part of any message. This is
one of those things that repeated infractions can get you into trouble for.

2. Don't, at this stage, fiddle your time/date stamp. The ability to do that
is a RARE thing. Only the best of the best deckers (or those with the money
to hire them ;) ) know how to do that. We've had a rash of people doing
that, so the guys in charge of the list decided that the SOTA just increased
and no one's T/D stamp fiddles work at the moment. If anyone wants to be
able to fiddle their stamp, they have to write, in character, how they
managed to fiddle it. If you have any further questions about the matter, or
you want a better explanation than my ramblings, ask Mark Imbriaco.

But basically, don't fiddle your T/D stamp until after you've spoken with
him.

Just some friendly tips to keep you out of trouble. :)
