Colin:

I would like to thank you (and I know every thinking person must agree) 
because:

1.  Your parodies of correct net behavior are light, refreshing, and always in 
good taste.

2.  You know how to present material in a constantly amusing fashion.

3.  You are kind and ever gentle on those of lesser character and ability.

4.  You remind us our lives are really not that boring and meaningless.

5.  We now realize there are people who do have too much time on their hands.

6.  You reaffirm our beliefs that the net should be open to those of all 
afflictions, including the reality impaired.

I sure am glad that you have taken up the good fight against the net abusers. 
We need more people of your vision to keep it from falling into constant 
meaningful discussions of important subjects.

Tom Reid
