Well, that has been the test, I guess.

I wish Terrance were still around to help out on this one. I wonder what
did happen to Terrance, after that strange back-dated post from "Seb
Thirlway" which attempted to deflect the blame for Terrance's sudden
departure. And the post Terrance forwarded to the list from "Ron
Meiners"? Or the query from "[Noah S Baer]" to Doug? We haven't heard
from "paranoid at paranoid.com" about its part in all of this either, have
we? Nor "Clare Kennedy". And I wouldn't hold out all that much hope for
"Hilary Granados", s~Z, although "Ann Oy" might be a likely prospect.
And where's "SIRRJAXMAX", my fave mistress of the salmon salt -- I'm
starting to miss the delightful and soothing cadences of those
apocalyptic incantations. Good to see "slothrop666" back on board
though. 

There. That should keep the Chuckler busy for a bit.
