I read your message at my Brother-in-law's house, and whereas my computer separates list messages from private email, his does not.

I really didn't mean to try and rake *anyone* over the coals, especially for something so innocent as opinion. I would like to apologize to you personally for the private email issue -- while I realize people who read the group on email rather than in a newsreader may need to exercise more precaution, I also understand how it goes, especially with reading mail away from home. It's nothing I am too concerned about, really. To those who think I am stodgy and set in my ways, I have been forced through this publicly-aired debate to review my opinions. I'm not going to say that I've necessarily changed my mind, but I will say that I hope none of you are sensitive enough to have taken my posts to heart. I assure you I had the entire student body and faculty of my high school furious with me because of the vigor with which I play devil's advocate when I choose to. If you've joined their ranks, I can only hope for your forgiveness next time we meet at a Fruvous show. :) Enjoy President's Day, everyone. I'm still wondering why the good sales for this supposed "holiday" continue all week long.

They cost me $12 each, so that's what I'm asking.

Then a week or so back I had a *really* slow night at work, and this was the result. It obviously needs a lot of work, including a section on fruconversions and the like. Any questions, suggestions, ideas, revisions gleefully accepted. In fact, if someone more qualified (ie someone more aquainted with fruvous) wants to take over, you're welcome to do so. Now, onto the test. It currently has 97 questions, so to find your MF purity, total your 'yeses' and subtract that from 97. Then devide the result by 97 and multiply that figure by 100. For example I myself have 39 yeses, so.. 97 - 39 = 58 58 / 97 = 0.5979 0.5979 * 100 = 59.79% MF pure (40.21% MF corrupt) Enjoy."

So I'm standing over in front of the doors waiting for him to make his way through the registers. A guy walks by me, and then a few minutes later comes back and says, "Moxy Fruvous? Didn't I see you at the Moxy Fruvous concert?" Let me tell you, I was STUNNED! All my meager powers of thought, of reason, of intellect entirely fled instantaneously. Mind you, I had no identifying Frugear on. Me: "Uh..uh...Yeah! Which concert?" Guy: "Iron Horse at Halloween." He then nodded toward his teenaged daughter, indicating he went there for her. Me: "Cool! I went to the Pointe-Claire show outside Montreal in December." Guy: "Cool!" Me: "See ya around." Guy: "Yep, bye." Fool that I am, I didn't A) ask their names; B) introduce myself; C) talk about the various flavors of MF Online. So, Guy or Daughter, if you're reading this, send me an email at the address below!
