Hey Mike-
If my posting offends you, well EXCUUUUSE ME! Sorry, I couldn't resist:-). But
seriously, I'm just having fun, which is for what I thought this group was
intended. Sounds like people's idea of fun is pretty diverse (duh), so rather
than folks having hard feelings, I would be in favor of some sort of change
where geeks can talk shop, etc and humorists (challenged and not) can blather on
without fear of alienating folks such as Mike and Jesse. How about .hahafunny,
and .weirdfunny [1]? *And* .spam for Tommie Mac;-)
[1] Geek humor;-)
