Y'all put me in your respective killfiles. Just because you can't see me

Did not! You wandered off and left us behind.

Stupid? Well, yeah. I do a lot of stupid things, but life generally works
out if you let it.

If you're not doing stupid things, you're not doing any things.

It's like what someone said (very roughly paraphrased here), "Half the
advice I get is really good and half is really bad. I just can't tell
which is which until a lot later."

I was online yesterday because I had just learned that he decided life was
not going to work out for him. For many reasons, not the least of which was
a chronic, debilitating and--in the ten years I've known him--apparently
untreatable sinus infection that resulted in relentless migraines, he
decided to choose a permanent end to unremitting pain.

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry to hear this. Even when you understand the
motive, having a friend choose to leave is a very painful situation.

P.S. to Pat, I sent you an e-mail, but I know you've failed to get them in
the past. Doyle died. Beck bribed the vet with scads of cash to keep him
with us, the living, but to no avail.

I'm sorry to hear this, too. I'm bracing myself to prepare for this
myself, as Buzz and Neil are over ten now. Two or three more years is
about all I can hope for, realistically.

Doyle will live forever in the hearts of his friends. And in Google,
as Pat has immortalized him in his postings.

I got the email... Rhonda now has preliminary cover art for the Bonobo book.

I sent you an email yesterday, too, Pat. Did you get it?

....As did I. Apparently Pat's not getting his e-mail, or he has
everyone killfiled including himself :-P

Off to the spam control area I shall go.
(510 spam messages and 336 virus containing emails later)
That felt good!
Was this the one about the Gmail?
I get my mail account as part of my internet service, so I can't see any
real advantage in this setup.
Thanks for the info though.

Well... as a bloodthirsty macrocephalic sentient rat killer I did,
yes....and I did once have another rat chew through someone's parachute
shroud lines IIRC. All and all, I think your collies got better
treatment at my hands. ;-)
