This group...

[Andy Dreier <orion@shell.chaven.com>]

Hey all-
 How's it going? I have not read this group for nearly six months now. 
And now that I return, I'm finding that I can't control my laughter. 
Everything is just as it was when I left... which is why, from this 
moment forward, I refuse to read this group from my IIgs. It might 
damage the solicitude that the machine has gained from me over the 
years.
 Turley is still a little twit with a poor command of the english 
language and an I.Q. lower than the ambient room temperature. Nathan is 
still (and, perhaps, rightfully so) a prudish know-it-all with a temper 
and an inferiority complex that won't let him ignore the wrongs of 
others. And, just as when I left, the people who know the most post 
least.
 I am laughing, as I haven't in quite some time. The mirth that now 
floods my soul is not typical for me: it is that of an outsider looking 
in on what he once thought mattered, what should have been malleable 
with time. Turley is an asshole who appears to be suffering a pathology 
of the frontal cerebral lobes. Every time I read one of his notes, I 
can't avoid thinking with glee of how accurate the now-proverbial DE 
graphic was: "Doctor Tom: Bullshit Artist." Nathan, on the other hand,  
is just a nerd, whose realism makes him an alien in this strange land.
 It's good to know that, in a world that will forever change and 
chaotically thrust my life off course, there is still an unchanged 
vestige which I can refer back to at any time.
 For the rest of you, keep the faith. The IIgs is what you love. Don't 
let a few emotional children taint your memories.
