Dear Mr. Intercontinental Ballistic Pedestal Crane: :) Thanks for the comments and for helping on the logistical end that Thursday; I felt sure I was trying everyone's patience with that thing taking up most of my car and asking you to hold on to (...)

(...) Thanks for the kind comments, Bruce; your interest in the vagaries of nauticality (pyratical and others) has been part of the ongoing inspiration for doing these things. Regarding a comparison page: On the FdG page there's a note that I'm (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats)

(...) I'm glad I got to see this person at BF 2002. I really enjoyed it. I remember pouring over the 2001 'fest pictures of FdG, and really wishing I had been there.

(...) Yeah, I've been sort of worried about that--I may have to tweak the pages to see if I can't get the "default background" to be something other than white.
