*sigh*

Yes, I have. Unexplained, incidentally, not Unidentified.

Why do so many people think that I haven't read any of this ever before, in
all of the nine years I've been playing this game?

I don't know how to react to this. I'm so unused to anyone agreeing with me
on some things, I always tend to suspect it's some sort of trick.

Sorry, Patrick. That's just my general, condescending nature coming out.
I'm a real bastard, y'know? :)

And thanks for the correction - I really wasn't sure what the U stood
for.

No, I'm serious.

Well, if you're suspicious now, see how you feel when you read my latest
post on the subject. :)

De nada.

Pity I'm wrong. I think I managed to successfully forward a copy of a note
I got from Mike Mulvihill, but my ISP's mail server is acting flaky, so I
don't know if it made it out of my ISP's server room, which is all of a mile
and half away from here.

Dammit, Patrick, don't you know ANYTHING? You NEVER admit you were
wrong!!

You know, though...I'd like to hear what Tom Dowd has to say on the
subject. Maybe this is another one of those things that Mike disagreed
with and has changed. Not that I want to stir anything up here. I'm just
curious.

*Doc' Paso: Never surrender. Never forget. Never forgive. Never admit
you were wrong. Always bring the chilli sauce.

Doc' runs away REALLY fast this time.*

That was. Literally, it means, "It's nothing." It's how they say, "You're
welcome."

Why not? I'd rather admit it and get it out in the open than have some of
this lot continue to rub my nose in it.

You've obviously never tried some of the chili sauces we get access to here
in Texas....

Oh...I'm trying to figure out what "The nothing" means. Seems my Spanish
is even rustier than my French. Big surprise. :)
