<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And there we go! Why in the world would I need
to devote any effort to making Mr. Muffett look silly when he does such a
yeoman like job all by his lonesome. His " I am Spock, resurrected"
spiel takes pompous to a here to fore unexplored level and his claims
of being on the very verge of becoming a transcendent creature of pure intellect
makes me wonder if he gets out of his mothers basement much. (I picture
brain-Guy from MST3K hollering up the stairs "Quiet Ma, I'm almost ready to shed
this vile carbon based vessel and become a ray of environmentally friendly
energy. Bring me another Twinkie and a Sprite!" ) Keep pecking away on that man
made global warming obsession you've got going, I'm sure that Al Gore will be
around any day to thank you for your efforts assuming you haven't, well you
know, transformed. I know I sure am happy you've been on the case. My
appreciation is boundless, my amusement total.</FONT></DIV>
