Hey Rob, those plutonium carps of yours will never work. They aren't
fishin'able.

Carp overkill, please make it stop.

The reek is overpowering.

By the way: i get _plenty_ of messages from the shadowRN list. Is it
worth the time to shovel out the mail from NERPS and etc. It sound very
'tresting, but i'm not a freshman anymore and can't read my e-mail as
often as i would like (eg no time due to bad grades, insanity, chronic
halitosis, too busy studying, beating drunks, etc).

Any viewpoints before everyone leaves about the other lists are welcome.

later, mk


-here's 10,000 dollars, bring me the head of the easter bunny.

Depends if you want it. NERPS doesn't get much traffic. Maybe 5
messages a day.

If you have problems with sorting, use a filter. If you are on a UNIX
system, info is provided in the FAQ. If you are on a DOS, VAX or other
system, then I can't help you.

The button on the remote unit triggers a nearby microwave dish to send
a specially coded signal outward, into space. Somewhere, many miles
above the Earth's surface, the messages is received, decoded, and
circuits that have lain dormant for hours are brought to life. A multitude
of
small rocket thrusters fire, propelling the huge chunk of frozen nitrogen
towards a spot on the planet's surface. Within the ice, thousands of
wet carp in cryogenic sleep await the opportunity opportunity to fulfill
their
destiny of creating the largest mass-thwap in history.

P.S. It's even more deserved... my spell checker suggests fissionable
for "fishin'able", but stumbles over the term "opportunity". Grrrr...

Grrrr...

It didn't stumble, you had two of them in a row and the good little spell
checker pointed it out to you. We can't help it if you didn't read the
screen.

Yep, you're right. It's raining wet fish here, too. I wonder if I have any
carp recipes...
