What are you dragging me into? Cereoid has done nothing to me. I do like him.
Ive heard certain things from here or there which may be true (reliable source),
but I have no problem with him. If that makes me wicked, oh well. I've been
called worse.

Sorry, man; judging by one or two of your posts I thought you were a
sock puppet. Now I realize you're not. My bad.

sock puppet n. [Usenet: from the act of placing a sock over
your hand and talking to it and pretending it's talking back] In

Sock puppet huh? Well, I suppose there could be mental cases out there who do
that, but I really don't need any fabricated support. I actually have plenty.
