Since I'm a lazy netter, I stick to the list. No muss, no fuss.
barbed fesses up.
Mutually unintelligible techniques - yep, good description. Most posts seem
to eventually show up on both, others just disappear into the net-ther
regions of cyberspace to miraculously reappear weeks later. Nothing seems to
work linearly - the aftr-life = the Ulysses of newsgroups. Good Golly, Miss
Molly. Large quantities of drugs taken regularly help.
Skoal,(or is that Norwegian?)

Here I am trying to get caught up to the messages and this is the first with
this subject heading and I'm thinking. Huh-uh, can't do that one. Bobby
sez it's a no-no.
Now I understand. I'm sure everyone else has thrown their opinions into the
melee, but Uli, I subscribe to the mailing list and rarley read the ng. I
have occasionally dipped into the ng, but find so much duplication that it's
a waste of time. I mean, you people are interesting, but I do need to spend
*some* time with my family. ;^>

Uli wondering :^o

Makes you wonder... He got a look at her and said Oo-la. she responded by
saying Oo-li. he thought it meant she loved him, though it may have meant
something else entirely, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings. But
then, again... what if they were Hans and Gretel?
Verdant
Running off to write her own books
Those little chocolate wax-covered doughnuts that come six in a package?
They are complimented perfectly by Dr Pepper.

Come to think of it... I could write a directory consisting of the spell
checks I've had to suffer with my first and last name, especially since I
moved to Sweden a dozen years ago. Not to mention since I found this list.
Something to think of to do after retirement.
U-l-i, no that's: U-l-i yes right, with a U, no, a U, exactly. No, just one l.
Ah...the secret of success. Ulla, will you add this little something to our
shopping list, please?
Excuse me, but Nehi Grape goes with Moon Pies. Dr. Pepper goes with Oreo
cookies or peanut butter/banana sandwiches.

Ok, since you got sources, I'll yield to the senator of the great state of
California and the next president of the United States, Robert F.
Stubblefield. Dr. Pepper and moon pies it is.
