I’m not actually put out by it at all, but for the sake of the rules and not being confusing, that would probably be best. ---

Yeah - being a bear of little brain it was certainly confusing me. ---

Heterosexual, most of the time. Christian Coalition, um, no.😃 Check out our website–it’s of our crazy partying group in Indy. Go under “The year in pics.” [http://www.geocities.com/christiebelle1972/](http://www.geocities.com/christiebelle1972/) I’m the redhead with bangs. ---

You guys are funny. I think I’ll change it to Indygirl or something like that. I’ve emailed your MOD, so maybe it will get changed today. This board is great. It’s huge. I’m used to these little messageboards where we all know each other. Yay for relative anonymity. ---

On a random side note, one of those Thanksgiving pics shows that Andygrrl will probably become a board favorite due to a very nice looking posterior region. ---

Isn’t there a rule against cackling and giggling at the message board? The ideal Doper is stern and solemn, though s/he will occasionally let out an amused chuckle or a wry smile after a particularly stinging _bon mot_. ---

The ideal Doper is stern and solemn, though s/he will occasionally let out an amused chuckle or a wry smile after a particularly stinging bon mot. No, that’s just a cultural trait that **Uke** and **Eve** are trying to instill, not an Administration-mandated behavior. But you know what we think of **them**! 😉 ---
