Hey, everybody, start your calendars counting down NOW! July 5, 8661, at 7
AM! Hey, can somebody program a new countdown program for the SubSite?
Don't forget to take into account leap years, the year 2000, minor time
ruptures, and the Omicron Epsilon!
Love,
Jahweh

Well, that was my clock that Stang ripped from my ID4 page (I stole it
from someone else). I'm not going to edit it because I don't believe that
8661 bullshit.
6662 years, 30 days, 6 hours, 47 minutes, 23 seconds remaining for earth
(there, that's the most I'm going to do about THAT)

That's not my question.

There are a number of us lurkers who have been checking the ng for years. I
would imagine that many of us have carefully studied the Books, as well as
other first-rate teaching materials (Kerrigan and Ritchie, Springer, talk
radio, etc.), and have, at times, probably entertained the idea of
contributing our own simulations of classic sub-rants, such as I did a few
days ago, on July 4th, which seemed fitting - it was actually quite
cathartic. Why have we been lurking?
As a number of you have probably experienced, after a certain amount and
kind of study, one becomes sort of "bored" with the seemingly important
catch-concepts, and you start to see new dimensions. For various reasons,
you can become somewhat hesitant to discuss what you are really seeing.
This can sometimes leave less room in your contribution "vocabulary" for the
kinds of posts which usually attract interest. In fact, often you get the
feeling that you should NOT blabber about your "interpretations", or they
will sort of "fly away" from you until you are more ready to be calm and
relatively un-vain about your thoughts. I do not, however, feel that this
precludes all discussion, although I do not presume to know the conditions
which would be most beneficial for such. Hence, of course, another reason
some people might not post very often.
I have found that in this ng there is the opportunity to observe a part of
people's "real" sides, as well as their "con" sides, not that that's not
possible elsewhere. Most of the lurkers don't know each other, and, being
"lurkers", haven't "joined in" much, if at all, in the past. Some of us
have been, in a certain way, "silent participants", however contradictory
that may sound. alt.slack has been, _at times_, both instructional and
entertaining.
An example of the finer parts of alt.slack in the past: all those sterno
dokstok lectures. Now THAT was quality study material...
Or how about NENSLO's flat-out lessons on the real purpii of the Church. Of
all the alt.slack contributors, NENSLO lies the least (or maybe the best)!

This has only broken out in the last two days. Fri. Sat. and Sun. were
pretty dead in here. The highlight was e/w bear being taken apart by
NENSLO. On the whole, I think both of us would rather have been at
Brushwood.

I am a robot constructed by NENSLO.

No, he finished it. That was the cat that he dug up in the compost heap.
