- If these faq stabbing petty squabbles really cease, I am going to
- miss them in a perverse and curious kind of way. I haven't gleened a lot
- of graphics gems but as for insight into how really petty and fragile an ego
- can be, it is better than two semesters of child psychology. It even surpasses
- the daytime soaps. What we have is a network version of "Dynasty". So lets
- keep things rolling by adding our own personal jibes to fuel the fire until
- we "tune in tomorrow" for another episode. Don't these people realize the
- world is watching. They are going to be very embarressed if they ever grow up.
