So, Phaedrus… since you are finally convinced that andros is operating with just one username, does this mean you feel the same way about Gaudere? ---

When I read **Phaedrus** ’s posts and all the animated responses all I can say is: **Don’t you people get it?** In Hi School we had a (lame) joke: “How do you keep a fool in suspense?” “I give. How?” “I’ll tell you later” It’s just a stupid joke, folks. This is the longest version of the joke I’ve ever seen! You don’t know what’s going to happen? Well, I’ll tell you later. * * * Virtually yours, DrMatrix ---

No, what’s really sad is that some people are so obsessed that they will post a link to a test site and then others will go there and follow me around like lost sheep to make inane comments. Yeah, and THAT’S REALLY sad. ---

And how do think I got that link, Phaedy my boy. I got it by reading the source code from your posts attmpting to upload a picture to this site. Am I obsessed? Maybe, however, you posted recently asking our help to expedite your departure from this MB. So, be gone already. * * * “That it is unwise to be heedless ourselves while we are giving advice to others, I will show in a few lines.” - Phaedrus, translator of Aesop’s Fables ---

Here’s a new link to Phaedy’s homepage. [http://members.aol.com/cageybee008/myhomepage](http://members.aol.com/cageybee008/myhomepage) Apparently he’s removed what could be construed as a physical threat from the previous one.
