Hey, Pops!

Omigod, I'm so sorry! From the research I had done, I judged that the likelihood of the person turning into a watermelon was statistically insignificant, so I saw no cause in mentioning it. Apparently that decision was hasty, and I feel terrible about it. Really. Although you do look kind of cute that way.

I hope you don't try to sue me, although you should know that the fact that you're now a watermelon will make it difficult to commence that process.

I'm going to try really hard to get you out of this "big pickle" somehow, but meanwhile, if you see Brutus comin', have Olive hide you in the fridge...

Hey, Eve! you are in Washtenaw? Drop me a line... perhaps we will be having another A2 Y2K(ooks) gathering, if I can round up the group... drop me a line at aelewisNOSPAM@provide.net (zap the NOSPAM, natch)

Hi, Alan,

Yes, I'm in Washtenaw. And thanks for the invite. As a rule, right now I don't do private e-mail with people I don't know and trust. Don't get me wrong; absolutely nothing against you. In fact, In a way, I feel like I've come to know and love many of the people here. I don't know...maybe some of the e-mail thing is just the leftover paranoia I had from the "old" (i.e., pre-1/1/00) days on the forum. I recognize that, so I think very soon I'll outgrow it. I'd love to meet many of them. I did write down your address, though; but for now, would you consider advertising the meeting on the forum? I plan to stick around for a while.

Thanks again for asking, Alan.

Advertise the meeting on the forum? You bet! If there is a meeting. Maybe you could help organize one. The last one was fun. Worthwhile.

-- alan (foo@bar.com), January 07, 2000.

Alan,

My time is getting pretty limited, so I can't make any absolute commitment to help organize. But I'll definitely keep an open mind about it. The whole idea does sound exciting.
