sorry_andru unhinged i've kinda been ripping off your style lately, but it's fun. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....? :-\ 050823 ... andru235 THREE THINGS 1. what makes you so certain it is a style original to me? ;) 2. what if last time, on some other planet sort of like this one, it was *i* who borrowed from *your* style? 3. what if your recent change of style was a change you came up with eons before, and i merely reminded you about it? 4. what if there was something mystical about a carrot field during the summer of '95, and we both happened to eat carrots from that same field, and that is what is really behind this all? 5. i don't think it makes me an egotist to say that it would probably be better to emulate my 'style' than that of josef stalin. 6. whatever emulating you did, you clearly put your own finishing touches on, because you still seem much more like you than like me. *thank [insert reference to deity here]* 050824 ... andru235 yeah, that's right. i said THREE THINGS and i meant it. 050824 ... unhinged maybe it wasn't yours originally but you've been doing it a lot lately and i've been reading you a lot lately so i started doing it too i just wanted to say thank_you for being around for me to read and bounce of off i've been around here for awhile and there have been times where there wasn't much to bounce of off you are you and i'm me obviously i like the way you say things you like the way i say things i don't often like the way i say things and neither do you fact remains i like you (and i can hear the echoes of 'TAKE IT TO EMAIL' ringing in my ears) 050824 ...
