GRGR(8)--parallel worlds--many faces of Roger

[MASCARO at humnet.ucla.edu]

Allow me also to welcome you home, Andrew, from your undoubtedly invigorating 
holiday.  I know you've been gone awhile, and it is going to take you some time to 
reorient (do youse guys say *reorientate*?) yourself, but that's Paul M. you're quoting 
below, not john m (i.e. me).  Very insgihtful take on the characters, though.  Strange, but 
after reading through the replies and spinoffs of my original *parallel worlds* 
conundrum it seems, though I may be wrong, that Henry and I are the only listers who 
not only --believe in--but actually--pull for--love.  What about you Chris? (ah, but which 
Chris?--of course, that Chris).
