Careful. A woman showing even the slightest bit of attention to a Trekkie will soon have him and all his acquaintances (I would say friends but who’m I kidding?) constantly begging for more. We’re worse than the stray kitten you fed _just once_. ---

I am not seeing where this is a problem. Geeks are sexy. Even Star Trek geeks. Especially Star Trek geeks. ---

Pft. You may be fully functional but as your post indicates, you’re obviously not programmed in a wide variety of techniques. Your phaser won’t be much use if you don’t know how to turn off the safety. 😛 ---

Transmission complete. I liked your _Andromeda Strain_. It would be a bargain at _twelve_ quatloos. ---

Thanks. I usually write much darker fare, but this antho calls for positive stuff, even if people die and whatnot. (What fine literary phrasing.) How many Quatloos in a Latinum bar? Or the other way around? **Aes** , you are receiving a book from me courtesy of **NCB**. The bumper sticker was an extra from me, though. ---

Er. Is the book from him or from you? If it’s the latter, why’re you sending it? You peole confuse me. Either way, thanks to the both of you. Believe it or not, the whining wasn’t real. Okay, mostly. Maybe. I don’t know. Hey, **Harimad-sol** , want to come over to my place for some Romulan Ales? ---

Join in, I’ll send you the link when I post the first scene. **Aes** , I was gonna get you sumptin silly when I had the amazingly cogent (for me) thought that you might like **Viva** ’s book, so I bought you one. As a thank you for Adminning on NIFSTD. ---

By “ **viva** ’s book”, do you mean the Science Fiction anthology she was published in a couple months ago? The one I bought and recieved a copy of a week ago with a picture of what looks like Mars on the cover? Or is there some other book I’m not aware of? And any time re: NIFSTD. Glad I could help. ---
