You place me in good company... better than I deserve, but thanks.

You got that right... that's why he's the KING, baybee!

Apparently your posting resurrected him. Frankly, NG, I wish *you'd* post
more.

Laura is busy and an in-demand person. Personally, I've been having some
serious personal problems, of which my MCNGP bretheren are aware, and are
being quite the support I need right now. My attitude, and postings, should
pick up before too long, I hope. I continue to read the group every day,
regardless. I just don't feel like being (or trying to be) funny too much
lately.

We all come and go.

With no disrespect intended for Techie or any other MCNGP member, Ken is one
of my favorite posters, and I think you have to share that sentiment.

Dude, while your obviously not MCNGP, you're unquestionably a core member
here, an old-timer, a regular, an enigma. I wish you'd e-mail me privately
some time, but then that might take away some of the mystique you've carried
all these years. While you were among our first, and certainly most famous
LotW's and you at least at one time pretended to be a member of the MCNGP, I
suspect that should that offer ever come, you'd politely refuse, because
then where would the legend be? You've actually got quite a bit in common
with Paul.
Okay, I'm done babbling for now... back to work and lurking for me.
