I think you are the one who must be from another planet, Nick! That's it... you're an acid-dropping dope fiend from the planet Contar! That would also explain why you need the "wide open spaces"... the wide open *interstellar* spaces, am I right, eh? How many more of you are there among us, that's what I want to know! Jeff's a little misguided about this "iterator" business, but it's a personal hangup -- please do not think that is representative of planet Earth. Tell your people that they are "iterators" here as well, just like everywhere else in the galaxy. Best wishes from Earth, - Marktar
