**Collounsbury** finally got a hold of the near-mythical “book collection back in the states” and hasn’t left them again. **ultrafilter** finally realized that, when he named himself F, he was more than just a filter on S with the additional property that for every subset A of S, either A is in F or S \ A is in F, but that he was, in fact, consisting of all sets containing a particular point of S; he has been stuck ever since. (10 points to whoever can figure _that_ one out ;)) **Libertarian** finally used the ethics of capitalism so well that he bought an island on which to form a new society. (I’m comin’, Lib!
