I second what you say NS, this is a a real big family. Gives me a good feeling to belong! But, this momentary "silence" of the group reminds me of sci-fi post nuclear war novels... when radios accross the continents pickup survivor pockets... here we are, some in England, some in New Zealand and others in America and we are all linked up! Thank God, it is only a momentary thing and on Monday we will all be growning from the volume of mail coming in <BEG> I still believe it has something to do with Freelist because we have other members who live outside the US and don't celebrate 4 July... Like Mauricio for instance. Yoohoo, Mauricio! Where are you?

This is a wonderful "family" of people, and I am happy to be a part of a group of people who can put up with other people's loneliness, desire for chat, and, oh, of course, help with their computer problems ;-) In my case, yesterday was 106 degrees of burning sun and HUMID. I don't even want to tell you what the heat index was, and we haven't seen rain in .....ummm....wellll.....a long time. I celebrated the holiday by working 13 hours, after 3 hrs sleep, at the back gate, outside, at an amphitheater in the brutal heat. Thankfully, today we had a cold front come thru, and it was only 94 degrees. What a relief! Another thing I would like to comment on... I think it is great that members here feel comfortable enough to post their locations, and their situations, even if it is only weather related. So many lists, and so many people any more, could care less about others, or have such enormous ego or other problems that they can't relate to the "little" people, and I think it is a great tribute to GMan, and the members of this list, that this feels like a comfortable place to be. For the newer members who may not have heard from me in the last few months due to enormous work and personal time-takers, welcome, sit down, grab a drink of your choice, and enjoy : ) I think that I am back to my own form of sanity, and I hope to be here every day now, at least some part. (Actually GMan and Babydoll are forcing me, since now they are moving and will be offline for a bit...LOL) nightsneak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angela Cooke" <angela.cooke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 4:52 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: silence | | > | >Practicing e-mail skills!!--I like that.
