Tsk, posting on newsgroups when you could be doing something useful,
like, working out why my horrible PERM technique fails on c12ds.

Your PGP signature has caused the ads/'related pages' on the side of
google groups to all be encryption-related ones, silly google not
ignoring such things..

So are you a CC Oldie with a new name? or a CC Newie? Which is your
favourite norn type? Have you made any COBs/Agents? or Utilites for any of

Hmmm. I hope I didn't lose the backup copy of sprites for it in that hdd
crash... When a norn got near it and gave it a push, it would obligingly
roll up and inject dancing into the nearby creatures, and the agc carpet did
that for hands, people, trolls and navens.. =`)
