To start things out I've got some business from the Mailing List Museum to 
share.  The following mlers have an entry at the museum which is a tad bit old 
and could use an update:

Laura Stoffer
Mortal
Charles Hagaman
Daniel E. Betts Jr. aka Kunou
Albert Lunde
Miyu
Jaymz
Don Wang
Jason Hicks
Jeff Slag (AKA Cabbage Head)
Olin
Eric Baker, Justicar
Bradsempai EoE
Insane-kun
Blackbird

I'm quite sure than many of these people are no longer on the mailing list, 
but I listed all the names (except my own which I just added the night before 
last ^_^) in case a few of those I didn't think were still lurking.  If you 
update your bio I'm going to put a link to the original bio from a couple of 
years ago on your new page (if you don't want me to leave the old one please 
tell me.).  I also invite anyone else to make an entry in the mailing list 
museum.  To get there just follow the link in my sig and scroll down to the 
Ranma 1/2 Ml Museum link (it is a box made out of Ranma pictures).

^_^;;;... I'm trying to adapt to replying to actual Ranma related posts.  The 
scene you mentioned was very cute and your idea is very interesting.  The 
characters are somewhat 'unstable'.  At times they can get together very well 
and at others they break down into a managerie of violence and chaos.  I 
believe what you are asking is what characters could be put together with the 
greates chance of a 'normal' outcome.  I believe the trio you mentioned is the 
best example from the series.  I mean, Mousse and Ryoga would find they have a 
lot in common and they aren't rivals (unlike the girls who have a similar 
thing in common, but which the thing they share in common causes their 
rivalry) and Kasumi would be a stable factor in any trio.  I can actually see 
Mousse and Ryoga start to confide in each other and become good friends.  The 
other trios I can think of wouldn't be quite as good as the 
Ryoga/Mousee/Kasumi one.  Ranma and Akane can share quality time occasionally, 
but there calm is easily broken by about any third party... I think them and 
Dr. Tofu or them and Kasumi could be rather stable.  A quartet... that is 
pretty hard.  In a rare occurance Ranma, Mouse, Ryoga, and Akane could work, 
or the four of them and Doc Tofu, but I don't see that as a very plausible 
setup (unless they had beat each other up and were to tired to continue 
figthing.  The real matchups could be nearly endless, (though volatile) it all 
has to do with the situation the characters are in.

I liked your little review of pros and cons of the cursed forms,  I would, 
however, say that Mousse has it best... just because he can fly.  I don't know 
that has always been something I'd really like to do (I plan to take up hand 
gliding on some day well in the future when I can afford it.) In the words of 
Ryoga to Ranma, "YOU CALL THAT A CURSE!!!" Ryogas definetly got it the worst.

Hallo, I've asked about you twice... but after both times I became to busy to 
follow up on my mail so I'm sorry if your getting tired of this.  Do you still 
have a church of Ryoga ml and rpml? ... and do you remember me ^_^

Ha ha... I'm in April and born in 80 so I don't fit into the "May-eriffic" 
group or the '78 group.  I'm unique.  Not only that but a rather large nuclear 
reactor in a quaint little town in Russia blew up on my 6th birthday... not 
that that was the bestest thing that has happened on one of birthday's, but it 
is the most noteable.  So does anyone know my birthday? I doubt it and I 
further doubt anyone is going to look it up in a vain attempt to appear filled 
with date trivia... but I'll see if anyone impresses me.

school went.  They have the best school system I've ever been in.  I truely

school system.

We did pre-order it for him, but that insert Yosemitie Sam cursing... K-mart 
stupidly sold all the Gold Cartridges they recieved as normal games and when 
they ran out they realized what the did they told the people that had 
preoredred, "Oh, we're sorry, but the game IS identical" I wanted to lay the 
smack down... HARD grumble, grumble.  My little brother was really 
dissapointed.

the wein tombs of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz I Mahal as well!!! It is almost 
creepy.  Everything you've said you like I rather enjoy myself... if this had 
happened anywhere but this ml I think I'd be exceedingly freaked out... to 
find a girl (or young lady if your prefer ^_^) with a common interest in anime 
is odd enough, but 80s cartoons and the Taj-Mahal story... spookie, but I'm 
quite glad to have found a kindred spirit in you.

Hey Justi!!! It has been a long while since I've seen you around.  Your one of 
those listed as needing to update you ml museum bio, so snap to it ^_^.  I 
just visited your 'fortress' I literally hadn't been there in years, I notice 
your using another picture of 'yourself'.  Last I recall it was a very cool 
black knight with a red background... unless I'm confused which is quite 
possible.
