Q: "Bob! I've noticed you have not been posting on the FML lately, but I have seen you on another forumŮ! Have you quit the FML?" A: Only wussies quit. Since my last surgery a few weeks ago, I have been easily fatigued. Because I feel into a "Q-N-A" niche, it actually takes more time and energy to research a question, read the papers, and compose an answer than I have at the moment. I haven't quit reading or posting to the FML, I have just been curating the posts for future reading and will post again when I am feeling better. My posts in other forums are more of a quick response than anything, which allows me to keep up with my friends, but only takes a few seconds of time to do. No need to read into anything. Q: "I heard you had serious surgery....will you still be attending the Ferrets 2000 event? I didn't see your name mentioned in Ferrets magizine" A: Maybe you should read a better written magazine.... Of course I will be there! The only thing I like better than writing is talking. Ok, there are other things, but they are not allowed in Canada. I suspect the reason my name wasn't mentioned in the Ferrets public service announcement was because of my support of Modern Ferret and my critical review of Dustman's book. Ethics shows. Q: "What will you be talking about at Ferret's 2000?" A: I plan on spreading rumor and innuendo whenever possible. Oh, and I also want to spread anarchy. It's a surprise, but you can count on it dangerously approaching science. Q: "If I go to Ferrets 2000, can I see your scar?" A: Your hobby Scar Trek? I will be selling Bob's Guide To The Scars for $5, or will take you on a personal tour for $20. That's in US funds.
