Wow, first Insane-kun, then Tracy, now Ruben!  What a great way to start 
the new year.  Too all you new posters, welcome to the main screen.  I 
hope that you enjoy our company (you must or else you would have unsubbed 
before now) and I'm sure that we will enjoy yours!

Anyone else want to join the party?  We have plenty of room!

And Happy New Year to everybody!

-Saotome Laura, who really wants to check out everyone's homepages, but 
can't because the only net access she has at home is through her mother's 
AOL account, which is currently down for some bizzarre reason and it is 
impossible to get through to tech support, even after she tried holding 
for more than fourty minutes before her &()*ing phone died...

DEATH TO AOL!!!
