Whats Snow?
I havent seen any in 13 years...

Not only that, last time I spend some time in Europe I had the heater
turned up as all my muscles kind of 'froze' and when they came home
you should have heard the complaints as I had the heater up to 30C...

Ultimately it's a matter of personal preference, as the list
guidelines only suggest putting in that delimiter, not require it (the
exact quote is that it is "a good idea" if people start complaining
about your sigs for whatever reason). So it's simply a matter of
consideration when we do (or attempt to and the quirkiness of the
editor thwarts our attempt, which is how my portion of this thread had
its genesis ...)

Hi Alex,

On Sunday, January 30, 2000, 3:41:05 PM, you hammered out:

Sorry Alex, I will let Chuck go into detail if he wishes, but the
largest (twin) cities in Minnesota (Minneapolis and St. Paul) have an
Ice Festival each year at this time.  The history of this festival
goes back for over 100 years.  Obviously, Minnesota is not as cold as
the notorious Russian winters, but typically the weather will be -5 to
-20 F, which is quite cold for us. :-)  It lasts for several days, and
everybody it seems "lives" outside for a few days for these activities
which continue day and night. Chuck has a URL on it, and may want to
comment further.

A> Anybody needs the working regexp? I'm starting the votes

Yes, I for one would like a working regexp.

Here in Minnesota, the home of the "Ice Thing" as Gary puts it , we
don't sweat the small stuff ... or any stuff, for that matter ... in
January.

A meager semblance of one, barely ... would you believe I live in a
one-room, studio apartment and just the other day I realized I'm
surrounding by three functional PCs and three others in various states
of repair/disrepair ... that's what happens when you work from home, I
guess.

Agreed ... the "disappearing act" has happened to me, as well, and
I've not yet identified the circumstances under which it has done so.
My first clue is usually when some "helpful" person on this list
emails me to tell me it's not working ... some people spend a lot of
time watching for that, apparently.  :-) Myself, I have other hobbies.
