HEY!! Get OFF ME!!!

<mumble>
damn touchy feely crap I thought the Internet was supposed to be impersonal
what the hell are these freaks doing hugging me I oughta kick their ass
doesn't he know real men don't hug the slap and hit each other I just don't
get it...
</mumble>

Actually, that very nearly made me laugh out loud. While in and of itself
that isn't a bad thing, when are by yourself in your office and you
suddenly start to laugh or giggle, co-workers walking by tend to think you
are extremely bizarre. And the people here think I'm odd enough as it is.

Thanks for the humor.

And now back to your regularly scheduled, on-topic, mailing list...

Which brings up a good point and one which i've been meaning to bring to
GridSec attention. Now many of us on the list access email from work and
humorous mail can be a troublesome int he work place, as detailed above by
Erik, I would appreciate it if we could all take a lesson from me, Caric,
and only send On Topic, non-humorous posts to RN. Thank you.

;)

Did you send this to the wrong list Erik? Because I don't think we're
subbed to the same one. <BFG>
