Well, I must say I'm pleased to be credited with yet another brief missive I sent to Randi. I e-mailed the Amazing One a fortnight ago with the explanation of "terepace", but he saved it until now.
I can't deny I'm chuffed, though. :)

We should start an honorable mention club! Kind of like SNL hosts. Would there be extra credit for "times in a row?"

I was also pleasantly surprised to see my email to Mr. Randi quoted this week. It's a bit jarring to suddenly see your own name unexpectedly in something like that!

Years ago, I was reading the Letters to the Editor in a local computer-related magazine. One of the letters was about an article from an earlier issue, and I found myself agreeing with everything in it. I kept thinking "This guy knows his stuff!"

Then I got to the end of it, and realized it was a letter I had written to the author of the article! I hadn't written it to the editor, and so was not expecting it to be printed...

But I must say that I agreed with everything I had written!

That's pretty good, I find I tend to argue with myself about points I've made only moments ago...

For instance, I don't think it's good that you agree with everything you write.

I don't have any of the foreign language fonts needed to see the above posts. However, I have seen all I need to see to determine that the internet is now sentient.

Which browser are you using? Netscape and IE come with fonts equipped.
