As long as I don’t become know as the FeTch guy, I’m pleased with all the reactions, including the adorable naifs who didn’t get it at first :). There’s one more odd poster I remember: he came on the boards to preach the gospel of Carlos Casteneda. Does anyone remember who that dude was? I remember challenging him to some sort of belief-off, and then feeling bad about it because I realized the dude was nuts, but I don’t remember much more. ---

Hey, what about that odd duck who tried to disprove anal rape was impossible between a standing man and a young boy using a cardboard tube? This guy thinks blacks were better off and happier before civil rights, women became mean when let out of the kitchen and everyone was much more polite under a strict patriarchy. 'Member him?

Hang on. About **ZPG** : I just now happened to look at her join date. 2003? She has seniority on me? For some reason, I thought that she was a relative newcomer. How come I haven’t noticed her until recently? Well, in that case, I guess she’s not going anywhere. Which is good, I think I have a crush on her.
