Mark!

Glad you jumped by.  Hope your holiday went well.  We've had the
genesis of some new memes slowly emerging, and perhaps some coming back
... hoping so, as there does seem to be some improvements.

On other fronts, I hadn't realized that you and I had exchanges from
time to time in the past - good ones, as now - as most of my posts are
gone city.  Eventually, antU sank in... :-)

Hope your publishing is going well, feel free to email as you see fit.

Looking forward to you joining us again if you can/like.

  Hi Earl!
  Concerning antU...... this is a mystery. Is there any way I could get
you to ask The Cabal just what the heck happened to the alt hierarchy that
caused so many newsservers to drop the antU (with the capital U), and only
carry it's little brother, antu (with the little u)? A few years back,
this started happening more and more, until antU basically disappeared
from many servers and left in it's glorious wake only the little antu.
antU was where the napalm really flew. 
  Back in the mid 90s when I first started posting, antU and antu were
often on the same servers. And it stayed that way for many years. Then it
started. One day my own server dropped antU. Why, I was amazed. So I found
a list of "open servers", that I could program the tin newsreader to
access. antU was still on some of them. And then it happened again. Many
of those servers removed antU! By this time I was convinced it was a
conspiracy involving The Cabal to stop posters like Eisen Chao from
telling the Horrible Truth about the EuroPeons. To this day I don't know
why that happened with the real antU.
   
    I don't know why but this reminds me of the Tom Robbins joke:

   Jesus arrives back in heaven and goes to see his Dad. "Dad", he asks,
"I have a whole lot of people down there on Earth that want to follow me
home. Can I keep them?"
   "No son," God says, "You don't know where they have been."
