(i can approach this with shorter and shorter intervals and someday i'll inhabit one of them, and just for a fraction of a second, everything will turn odd sight and sound and i'll have known, yes i'm younger now and you are president of an island nation.) _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
