Hi, there.

I just found a good Usenet reader for the Mac, and decided to go visit
my old haunts. Nice to see that RATMM is still alive and well. So,
what's new?

I hate to admit it, but it's been months since anyone came up
with a nice catchy group in-joke, and we've even been short on signs
of the apocalypse. You'd think the latter would be particularly common
these days, what with, well, everything. It's a bit frustrating.

There've been a couple fresh MiSTings, and I should have one to
publish by the end of the month, too, happy to say.

Well, let's see. It's later the same day...

(Old soap opera joke.)

I guess the series "24" took the "same day" to an EXTREME! Although
different seasons took place on different days....
Maybe there will someday be a series where every episode takes place
in the same HOUR! Ah, surrealism! :-)

And an _Apartment 3-G_ joke too, if I'm not mistaken.

I shall. I too often forget how much fun they are to write,
but then a likely prospect turns up and ah but the glory days are
alive again.
