Well, I just subscribed… blah. I’ve browsed for ages. It’s my own fault for not having done so earlier. Won’t bore anyone with details. I hope to decrease my ignorance as much as possible in '05. (but only if I can offset my own ignorance by reducing someone elses in the process) (doubtful). ---

Nah, same old goat, but it’s had a bit of a respite, so it’s feeling … frisky. 😃 Welcome! (You seem to find it unlikely that Nothing would be found in Nebraska, **Nightwatch Trailer**.
