He did say that 'he' was responsible, instead of 'he and a small group of others' kept Congress on the ball. His stupid mistake was to not go after the Republicans that mis-quoted him. "Play it again, Sam" anyone? Bye, Kerry KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!! What's wrong with my back? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:04:54 -0400 From: "Varker, Patrick" Subject: 18 years and counting... Happy verse-day to you, Happy verse-day toooooo you. Happy verse-day dear ECTO, Happy verse-day to you! (But hey, everyday's a Verse-Day on Ecto when we're talking such great music). p.s. Yeah I know, we talk many other topics too. That's what makes this such a special place!!! I'm so fortunate to be a small part of this wonderful community! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:41:50 -0400 From: "F.J.Fornorn" Subject: Re: 18 ? years and counting... 18 years?

Happy Birthday Ecto I remember hooking up my first modem, a 1200 baud card, to my Tandy 1000. I remember printing some posts on my noisy dot matrix printer. But mostly I remember the joy of a community geared to Happy's music (Warpaint had just come out when I joined). You folks really are a Collective Heart. Amazing.
