I think I'll go join Monster under the microwave stand 'til it's over! On a more serious note, I'll put in my vote on the current debate: I like the FML as it is. [Applause and cheers to BIG] I've enjoyed the FLO and the wedding. Monster is, I believe, a secret member of the former, and totally uninterested in the later. Something to do with only 1/2 the number of raisons in the house being set aside for her, I think. As to the stuff I don't want to read, I simply keep a list of people who's posts on the internet (anywhere) I don't read. This is based on their demeanour rather than their content - I'd sooner take constructive advice from the village idiot than listen to a malicious gossip from an intellegent enemy. I've only added one from this list, and that was a few months ago. However, if anyone needs an illustration of unintellegent posts, feel free to check out the unmoderated alt.pets.ferrets for some examples of 13 year old twerps and their fantasies and attention-seeking comments, an ongoing discussion on "to declaw or not to declaw" <!?>, and PETA cross-posting across half the net. I have occasionally read something here that has raised my hackles. I got so angry once I responded directly back to the poster (Yes, I'm still waiting for some kind of intellegent reply to your flame!), and have even considered unsubsribing. Then I see the latest sock-stealing episode, wedding communique, or FLO 'secret' message and start snickering again. If the funnies are pulled from this group, I will unsubsribe. The rest of the list is too damn depressing (death, illness, and arguments) to hold any attraction for me otherwise. Megan Smith (aka: Megan and Monster) P.S. - can I flame Bob Church for 2 posts this issue? <G> They were so similar, yet not quite the same - one of your alternate personalities creeping out aye, dude? <snicker> Must be all those fuzzies messing with your mind!<G> [Posted in FML issue 1611]
