>>>>>[What the hell was that? Hey, sysadmin-type people... you guys suffer
a lapse in your IC recently or something? A host like "Togo Medical
Research Station 3" shouldn't be able to just get on without a user ID
associated with it. At least, not by "accident" if they dialog from our
nameless friends is to be taken at face value.

*sigh* What's the net coming to these days?

>>>>>[It wasn't an accident, dammit. I logged on intentionally, intending
to reveal some wonderful, fantastic news and instead discovered that
nearly 10 months of work was a complete waste of time! "Togo Medical
Research Station 3" was appended because the system required a default
address, and that's where I happened to be located at the time.]<<<<<

I suppose that this little posting means that your personal witch-hunt is

downhill in your absence, shall we say?

Still running a clinic, or have you moved on from that? (I only ask
because there are damn few cybersurgeons in Seattle I'd trust to tweak
my gear... in fact, normally none since you dropped out of sight)

Anyhow, one way or another, good to have you back.]<<<<<

Sam-I-Am, Drake lives his work. He won't quit, there's too much dirt out
there and he can't turn his back on it for long.

Besides, I have it from fair to middling sources that he's not a
cocktail drinker.]<<<<<

beat them when they sneeze. They only do it to annoy...]<<<<<
