Sorry, I can't type with my fingers crossed, so I'll just cross my legs.
Is that okay? :-)

You did quite well in your test, I give you a B [2].

[2] May be exchangeable for T, for tea.

Indeed, and I should have flagged my message as [B] in the subject line.
That was terribly irresponsible of me. My apologies to everyone who were
unable to automatically filter out this obvious test!

Most delicious, why thank you!

Me to. Speaking of tests, I'm going to "close the loop" by adding a test
of the law of gravity with this 1994 D cent.

I agree, it wasn't spam. However, it was a test. Now that spam is rare,
I gotta check and make sure the laws of physics still apply. After all,
not being the most scintilating of conversationalists I gotta say
something. I count on somebody else to add comedy, so I go for reality.

I do like that spam is rare! :)

I do like that they still apply. (though hey, a personal anti-gravity
field wouldn't go too far astray. The only anti-gravity I've been able to
make so far has been far too small to have any noticeable effect

Yeah, but in a newsfroup where our hallowed author can learn to fly
by throwing himself at the floor and missing, we can't take chances.
