-Whereas various parties have engaged in no-no activity
-and Whereas a plethora of list members seem to have misplaced both their
        sense of humor AND their delete keys (easy for me to say, as I
         didn't have any of MY private posts published...)
-and Whereas multiple list members have contacted me off list
-and Whereas people are jumping ship faster than OJ Simpson can
        cut through butter
-and Whereas this is all getting to be quite old
        I have taken the following actions:
1) I have contacted the great guru who lives high in a mountainous
        cave (Art).
        Be prepared: what Art chooses to do is very likely to be exactly
what he has done in the past; nothing rash. (this MUST be an improperly
punctuated sentence.....Any English majors out there, please contact me
off list and let me know).
2) I have contacted Proud Tom who will, hopefully, provide comic relief
to the masses.
    (Proud Tom - CHECK YOUR PROUD TOM EMAIL!!!!!) There, the Bat Signal
has been sent!
        However, Proud Tom has been painfully missing in action since
receiving a Harvey Award at this year's Tucson Bash and may have
become permanently transfixed.... just staring at it in a deep trance,
lost indefinitely in a stupor in the eighth bardo.
         So, folks, be prepared for anything! (from absolutely nothing to
heads being chopped off and web pages of hysterical mirth and
reactionary mewling filling the internet).
        Oh, it is a good day. Hope is in the air and my delete key works
just fine, thank you. Life is good.
        Of course, with some of what has been going on, a little voice in
the back of my head whispers horrifying, paranoid thoughts.... what
if Art does nothing and list members resort to outright suicide? What
if Proud Tom continues to be missing in action - just when we need him
most..... What if a never ending barrage of criticism descends upon me
for daring to have a sense of humor about all this, let alone invite that
dastardly Proud Tom to chime in!?
        Oh, well..... I can always go ride my wind buggy with Cecil.
        Besides, a Tektite Party nears, I have the latest Harry Potter book
on tape to listen to on my way to LA and back and there are no classes
next week! Oh, happy day!
        Lastly: just so I don't evoke the wrath of the wicked, I DID mention
Tektites and I DO hope a meteorite smashes my car while I am at the
party and I have plenty of witnesses. So, this IS a meteorite post - don't
zing me on that account.
        Best wishes, Michael
