- Um. Do you know "Prisoner's Dilemma?" (The Internet version. Like:
- there are two of you and a strange newsgroup. Each of you has to
- post. You've zero'd in on one of the local big machers as a
- target. Do you (a) cooperate and simultaneously flame the shit
- out of h[im|er], (b) wait for your opponent to flame then slime
- on them, (c) grovel to the local B.M., or (d) get the hell out?
- I think John von Neumann had something to say about this ...)

- Peeve: Mornington Crescent. I always loose. Maybe it's because
- Croxley Green is closed for repairs on alternate Saturdays and
- you've got to divert via Rickmansworth ...
-
- Sorry if this sounds a bit dissociated. I'm missing half the
- skin on my hands and it's taking something of an effort to
- concentrate on the keyboard, never mind the token peeves.
