The University of Iowa, and its repesentative on this group (mcicha) (me) would like to apologize heartily for the lack of silliness of some of the previous posts. Its just that things haven't been going well here at the U of I, what with the incessant rain and cold, and much stress from the ongoing job search, and his wife has trouble with her womb and all. Plus, professors are breathing down his neck to finish his Masters thesis and he has been sorely tempted to tell them where to shelve his *%*&$@%^ thesis. Not to mention that he has resorted to giving plasma for a lousy $30 a week to keep himself and his car fed. ------------------------------------------- I wandered lonely as a Cloud, | That walks alone on vales and Hills. | When all at once, I saw a Crowd; | A golden host of worker Ants! | | -Sir Alfred Lord, | (Who is apparently | Lord Tenniscourt's son) | -------------------------------------------

I have just realized that the previous post from this organization was not in the least bit silly. Even the damned sig file is losing what silliness it had. When this happens, I think the best think to do is sing a little song.

I would like to apologize for all the apologiges appearing in this newsgroup. No, really. You're nice USENETters out there, and you deserve more from your time in front of a terminal than all these bloody apologies. I mean, it may seem fine to you, but to us it's a wart on the face of the newsgroup. A cankerous growth, malignantly destroying all traces of sillines this group was formerly known to exhibit. A nasty bleeding sore upon the face of the net.
Sorry about getting graphic in that last paragraph, but I never wanted to be an apologist. I always wanted to be a lumberj...
