oh yeah, that was a blast... marcello, a leader of men, an italian who works in germany, will build a new (and improved!) d.p. now _that_ i gotta see... and he thinks he can still point to the "fan site" he built for me, even though he was defeated, totally, in that he had to adopt light-markup... (besides, when is he going to update that site? practically nothing there from the last 5 years.) and not to be outdone, lee passey chimes in too, and repeats some of his tripe from the old days... hey, it's like it was old-home week, or something. someone musta issued a call for a class-reunion! *** now that michael hart has passed away, you can look for marcello to make a _lot_ of new moves, trying to grab power and control of this library... i'm gonna egg him on, because i would _enjoy_ seeing this library _fail_ after michael's death, because the technocrats came in and ruined it... -bowerbird
