Metal is no indication of non bugness. :) After all, with enough
Shamanic influence the metal can either be ignored or incorporate - god
there's a though, a cybered bug. Blech!!! :)

So, a grandmother who's a mantis, two magically aware bug like kids, a
bug for a wife. Hey I think you've got a serious problem developing
here. :) Maybe that visit to the physio-analyst at Aztechnology might a
*very* good idea after all :) :) :)

Rubbish, it's more than common knowledge that we (Aztechnology) are
currently investing vast sums of money and manpower into solving the bug
problem. :) As for honest, when was the last time (and proof would be
useful here) that *you* know of Aztechnology stealing bodies??? :) We
are very honest about it, and always ask the person concerned if they
wish to donate their body to further scientific research. :)

You only trust the bugs because so much of your family is related to
them, and any indication of dissent would more than likely result in
rapid and untimely termination.

We have a number of counselors available for confidential consultation
if required. We *will* honour your desires for privacy, in fact it is
encouraged. :)

Just because you haven't yet, doesn't mean you *won't*. I still think
you should consider the decision to visit us as soon as possible.

After all we are the market leaders in magical and paranormal research,
and have the highest number of awakened research scientists. We are a
friendly and very public corporation and are more than happy to assist
anyone in situations similar to your own. Please visit soon.

Green spots are a cative sign of imminent *bugness*, they are the first
things experienced by people infected with the bug virus, this
manifestation of green spots is a clear indication of your imminent
peril. As a result of this further information we are tracing you now,
and will have an emergency team at your location very soon. The green
spots are the first sign of your absorption into the quasinatural
environment experienced by these creatures that are mutated
manifestations of natural creatures that exist in primarily rural
environments.

Call back immediately, you are in dire peril.

Oh dear Granite, you haven't been reading your posts have you, somebody
in here in another post actually correctly identified who the IT was :)
- and seeing as you missed it - I'm *not going to tell you* :) :)
No THEY would not allow THEM to exist in the same neighbourhood, as it
would be too easy to use THEM to track down THEY who cannot be
identified. IT has done everything possible to make sure THEY will
never be connected easily to THEM. :)

Ever heard of the Cell principle? Used extensively by terrorist groups
around the world. :)

You can look, but you'll never find THEM!

Oh yeah, that's right, female Mantis consume their mate after sex.
Hehehe, don't get fruity Granite, and don't ever get drunk. It may be
detrimental to your health, and I don't think we've ever had a Character
Funeral in here. :)

Good luck.
I wonder how one would prevent oneslef becomming interested in the
natural side of things when one's rather slim and sexy wife fancied a
come on. ???

It was nice knowing you Granite, I will send flowers :) :)

Not quite a grandmother... Godmother... Over here it's a non-related
person given relative status, almost like a grandmother, but not quite...
Something that some relatives do...:)

And god, I'd shoot myself if the wife and kids were bugs... That'd be too

Actually, IT is based in Cleveland, right around the corner from me. In
fact, I see IT every day...:) Of course, IT doen't like the fact that I'm
posting about IT, so if I disappear, please spread the message...:)
Eberyone must know the truth about IT.

Oh, and BTW, I tracked down an address for THEY and THEM in Chicago. It's
somewhere on Cermack Avenue in Chicago... In some building that houses a
publishing company...:)

I would hesitate to point out that when one considers the power and
influence IT has, IT is not just based in Cleveland, this is merely a
cell. The full influence IT has across the globe is reflected in most
major cities and THEY will use everything in their power to make sure IT
continues in this vein. THEY have nothing to fear from smaller people
such as the odd individual that is able to expose a single element in an
organisation the scale of which you cannot comprehend. THEY are
everywhere and you cannot escape from THEM. THEY will be visiting
shortly, and will turn you over to THEM so that IT can interrogate you
at their leisure. :)

>Oh, and BTW, I tracked down an address for THEY and THEM in Chicago. It's
>somewhere on Cermack Avenue in Chicago... In some building that houses a

THEY are everywhere, you have merely exposed a small element. Don't
worry friend. soon you will have company, and it will be down to THEM as
to your actual fate :)

[snip]
>Hey now, That's Johnny, not me... My wife is NOT a bug!!!
But do you *really* know this. :)

The best way to find out if you are having a problem with Bugs is to use
the formula of an old character I once knew. Take one can of RAID, one
grenade/detonation device, tie the two together, throw in general
direction of suspected bug thing. If it dies, it's a bug :)

Hey! How'd you know what I look like? But I live in an attic, not a
cellar...:) CLose enough...

Hmmm, straying far afield once more... Driver! Take me back to the real
topic, and step on it!

Sub-orbital, excellent, less mess to mop up. Can we say BOOM ladies, I
thought so :)

I am who I am, and all of me agree on that.

On this point I will desist, *before* I get thwapped. :)

But Gurth, haven't you noticed. Look at the name. He's actually a
Russian rodent :) :) As we all know Rodents like dark damp areas where
they can get up to all the things they like best. :) So it is a fairly
safe conclusion that Steve already has a cellar, and it's well stocked
with shredded newspaper and other soft goodies. :) :)

Sorry, couldn't resist (Didn't really mean it Steve) :) :)

Are you actually able to get ShadowRN in digest form? It's prbably a scary
thought when I'm averaging 80 - 140 emails a day. But I'm trying to figure
out how to handle being gone two weeks when I take off for my wedding,
without having to unsubscribe all together.

Take a lap-top with you, I bet your wife will like that a lot :)

A year ago, when we were still at a listserv server, there was a NOMAIL
command; using it left you subscribed but not receiving any mails.
Majordomo doesn't have this, as can be seen from the following list (this
is the help file I got from another Majordomo-run mailing list):

subscribe <list> [<address>]
Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named <list>.

unsubscribe <list> [<address>]
Unsubscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) from the named <list>.

get <list> <filename>
Get a file related to <list>.

index <list>
Return an index of files you can "get" for <list>.

which [<address>]
Find out which lists you (or <address> if specified) are on.

who <list>
Find out who is on the named <list>.

info <list>
Retrieve the general introductory information for the named <list>.

lists
Show the lists served by this Majordomo server.

help
Retrieve this message.

end
Stop processing commands (useful if your mailer adds a signature).
