I don't know about anyone else but when I see a Gary Istok post I feel the
urge to grab a cup of tea and a biscut, make myself comfortable and indulge
in a bit of nostalga while I read his posts. I would have said make myself
comfortable beside the fire but we ain't allowed those where I work (yeah, I
access Lugnet while at work).
On the other hand there are a few posters out there that need a few lessons
in netiqutte not to mention getting a certain part of their body well
acquainted with a steel capped boot. The language used by these people is
at the very least "disappointing" particularly as they see fit to make
mention that RTL has, to put it politely "gone to the dogs". Not that I'm
trying to be high and mighty but it just seems a tad ironic.
Anyway, time I got off my home built soap box and back to work.

| Speaking of this, I had the pleasure of meeting Gary, and he is like a walking Lego history book, with the original sets to prove it. I want to be just like him when I grow up! :) (You're a great guy, Gary!) Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
