Good morning, Ralf.
RG> Hello Rick! [stop]
Stop what?
RG> Got your netmail [stop]
Stop netmail? It just barely got started!
RG> Slight delay getting mail out [stop]
If it's stopped, that's more than just a delay.
RG> Lead dog eaten by mutant beavers [stop]
That explains a lot. BTW, isn't a "." easier to type than a "stop"?
RG> Pigeons doing weight training as backup [stop]
Muscle bound pigeons might have trouble staying airborne. But maybe they
could run fast.
RG> Will reply soonest [stop]
Don't reply to Soonet, I'm on Age.Net.
And [stop] that, it's starting to get annoying.
RG> How's your semaphore [stop]

It's a SUPERB book. Oh, the movie comes close (done by the excellent

Hmmm. If that were a REGULAR occurance with human beings, I wonder how

x-rated "I Love Lucy" sequece where the two lovers try to get around,
still joined, and hide away from the jealous spouse. Hmmm.
Well, if nothing else, it would keep the male from rolling away and
falling asleep immediately afterwards, anyway.

I will simply wait upon the times, thanks. And be always watchful. As
