Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 02:41:46 -0600
Hey you guys!

Well folks, I have now been semi-lurking on the list for almost a year
now, and have gladly woken up to 300 mail a day, but ,alas, life as always
happens. Tsar now has a Tsarina(a.k.a. Girlfriend) who will be taking up
many of my otherwise free hours, school and work taking up what's left.
Therefore as of this friday I will be unsubscribing, that is untill new
love wains, we break up, or I can't take not getting 200+ mail every day,
or even i start to miss the antics of Bull, Fro, Gurth, Dvixen, Mark,
Steve Kenson, FASAMike, and the rest...

Heh..the trick is to get her addicted as well. That way, she
can't (theoretically) yell at you for playing on the computer.

Aren't you the same guy that missed the list during his honeymoon
though? I think you are a special kind of idiot^H^H^H^H^Haddict.

No, that's when you network two computers and each have one, and send
love emails to each other from across the room.

Get married, get 2 phone lines, and give her your hand-me-down whenever
you upgrade your computer. Worked for me.

No Mail is not the same as unsubing :)

If she did, I would start to worry :)

No. She'll yell at you to get off the computer so *she* can use it. :)

I'm glad to hear that Vixen & I aren't the *only* ones who've succumbed
to this shameful fate.

Uh, oh... here comes another ICQ chat request. (Vixen is sitting just
across the 20'x20' room).

What's it gonna be this time? Cybersex or 'nother hoop-chewing?
