        well that is different, :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 12:25
- "Is it not that the case that you don't want not to have this pass? If that's not true, vote yes." -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 12:20 1
  - It's that Don Cheadle Simpsons joke: "The answer I'm looking for is yes." - David Oct 15, 12:21

  - if that is the price we must pay, so be it. so it is written. we are but leaves in the whirlwind....nm - x Oct 15, 12:15 1
    - Then I *definitely* will never be able to mobius roll any board again... -- nm - landbeck Oct 15, 12:24
