dejanews--yep, 1st post, O(+> WAS IN FARGO!) one of the first
unfortunate things I learned was Ms. Boyer was gone. HiRize verified
this via e-mail and gave me the link to the absolutely BEAUTIFUL homage
to her that he did. (You did it, right?) He became a favorite poster
of mine (along with JuvenileHi, that guy cracks me up CONSTANTLY, I read
his posts when I haven't even read the THREAD!) disappeared for awhile,
and is now seemingly back in full-force. HA! (You have a secret
admirer, dude.)
