water with a pair of cement boots! And that goes for the rest of
you, too! This whole business is none of your concern.]<<<<<

<<<<<[Mr. Lincoln Howe: A pair of cement boots? How very poetic. I see
the predictable thug coming out beneath that shiny silk suit of yours.
Foolish of you to take that tact. Where do you suppose the bulk of
runners get their start? You've chosen an awfully packed job market to
make your switch to, sir. Though, might I add, it fits your profile
(Sloping forehead, wide nose, early man/missing link) well. And as for it
not being my concern: You can suck rocks. The kid is here. We all know
he's here. The secret's out, bud. Big surprise. Looks like you've just
lost a toy. Perhaps we, on the other hand, have gained an associate.
Who's making better use of their resources, I wonder? And you might have your
own little do-bee deckers lookin for him, but there'll be twice the number
and ten times the talent hiding him. Maybe you ought to back off. There
seems little you can do regarding this unhappy business move but cut all
ties from it. Not our concern? I take that rather personally. I'm
concerned. I'm bloody well gonna stay that way.]>>>>>

<<<<<[Splut, et al: I'm sorry about blowing up... Gee... maybe when
I'm a great big grown-up like Mr. Howe I'll have more self-restraint.
Maybe then I'll even stop misplacing things...]>>>>>

>>>>>[Okay, this message is mainly for Spirit<Of The Matrix> but this
goes for anyone who has a problem with me. I don't know who you are
chummer, but I didn't much care for your last post. Normally I pride
myself on my professionalism, but you pushed the wrong button at the
wrong time. I've been running the shadow for 5 years now. Before that I
spent just over 4 years in a corporate black ops team. Don't ever tell me
how to handle my business. If anyone has a problem with this post or
with me, then try and get a piece of me this Friday night at Dante's
Inferno. I haven't lived this long with out being _very_ good at what I
do. So back off. I've messed with worse than the Brotherhood, and I'm
still around. I'm not invincible, and I'm far from perfect. But I do
know how to run my business. I'll be waiting for anyone that wants to
talk, or that wants to start something. You know where to find me.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Probably true, but what I said still stands. By the way, Meriadoc,
if you still want to talk to me, then you can find me at the Inferno
Friday night. I might be busy though, so if you want to meet somewhere
else, name the time and place. Preferably public, like the Evergreen
Kingdom.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Actually, Whistler, I am surprised you took the warning so hard.
I sent it as a warning to those who don't know how truely dangerous THEY can be.
It wasn't to anyone inparticular, it was just sent to warn people about the
dangers THEY pose.]<<<<<
