I'll always sign as Lady Becky, just to avoid the confusion that could happen. "No I didn't write that!" "But it says right here Becky wrote it" "Well, it's not me" "Aren't you Becky?" "Yes, but I'm not that Becky" "You mean there's another Becky?" "Well who else would have wrote it!" "You, you're Becky" "Not that one!" Things could get really confusing! You could make things really confusing and join the LIG, and be Lady Becky too! :) Lady Becky The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. --Dr. Suess ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 22:48:45 -0800 (PST) From: Becky Anne Christensen To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: Re: The Ones in Black Message-ID: On Sat, 24 Feb 1996, puppies and dragons wrote: > >Wi n0t trei a h0liday in Sweden this yer? | See the l0veli lakes | The > W0nderful > >teleph0ne system | And mani interesting furry animals | Including the > majestic m00se > >| A M00se once bit my sister ... | No realli!

As far as I know, they still haven't found the White Coconut. Sparrows could probably find the White Coconut faster than any of the humans. Only the African ones, mind you. The European ones just couldn't handle the burden. Unless they put it between them, and both carried it! Sorry, the temptation was too much. You know I can't control myself when it comes to Monty Python, I tried, I really did. I just couldn't do it! Lady Becky The more that you read, the more things you will know.

Who knows what would have happened if she had done what she was supposed to. Her way wasn't bad by any means, but we can't assume it was better. Maybe if she had gone where she was supposed to, things would have been even better. Lady Becky The more that you read, the more things you will know.

Everything should now be back to normal, but there will inevitably be a backlog of mail which will take a day or two to clear; please be patient. Some mail was lost during the downtime; if you sent a request or posting on Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th and do not receive any confirmation within the next day or so, please re-send it. (Don't do it straight away; give the server time to process all the waiting mail first.) *sigh* Sorry folks.
