No, no. Love **lno**. Hate with the same intensity which **lno** hates. Did you read his White Hot Intensity of 1,000 Suns thing? Like that.

(PS – I saw in a thread somewhere that if you use astrisks, you can search on three-letter names, like this: _lno_ Haven’t tried it, don’t know if it works.)

Oh, and another PS. When you talk to India tomorrow, tell them I said hi.

Ellen, I have no idea who you’re talking about but “When you talk to India tomorrow, tell them I said hi.” taken out of context makes for a truly wonderful sigline.

Hee hee. Look above in the thread, **lieu** ; Shibb has a conference call with India every day. The whole country! Just waiting, every weekday, at 6:30 a.m., EDT, to receive their daily marching orders from our own Mr. Oleth.

Uh-huh. It’s true!

-Ellen. (making outlandish assertations)

Damn, I was wondering who was running India. I never dreamed it was a Doper!  
**Shibb** must be real organized. I don’t think I could run a whole country by phone.  
Maybe by e-mail…  
e.g.:

* * *

To: Australia  
From: Kn\*ckers  
Subject: Your Country  
Hey, folks… Or should I say, “G’Day”? 😉

Here’s today’s to-do list. Let me know if any Q’s:

1. Feed cat
2. Take out trash
3. Cull cane toads in Queensland
4. Halt negative impact of humans on fragile Great Barrier Reef ecosystem
5. Check mail
6. Make fun of Tasmania
7. Invent a very violent sport called Australian Rules Sewing
8. Laundry  
Sorry, Tazzie, but every country has to have comic relief. Be proud!
