Why should any of us tell anything about ourselves when you couldn't be
troubled to tell us anything about yourself, Dave?
(Just figured I'd import that snide, sniping, bitching tone of M-net to make
everyone feel at home.)
Oh, and by the way...
First!

Gee, unless someone slips in this will be response #6, and so
far nobody has told us anything about themselves, except
indirectly by their behavior of course. :)
I'm a prof. I've M-Netted for 12 years, just one year less than the
maximum possible. I like to play the piano.

Well, since people started saying stuff, I guess it is my turn. Well I have
been M-netting for 3 years..I know not long, but I didn't have enough money
to get a better computer until that time so there! And otherwise, I play
guitar, draw, (draw people, animals, buildings, etc.) I am actually a pretty
good artist. And I hang out at BBS's and write scripts/programs.
Ok...I feel bettah

Heh. I thought I'd be self-effacing and let others go first...
Well, let's see. I've been on M-Net since February, 1985.
I'm a lawyer in my day job. Married, one child, and live with
my wife Sabra Briere on Broadway in AA.
I have the rare honor and great privilege of being on the
Arbornet Board of Directors. 8-) This pinnacle of my career
was preceded by my invention of the Policy Cf on M-Net longer ago
than I care to think about it.
Plus, I have been cfadm on and off twice.

rumors about where my shoes might be - although confirmed - may or may not
be true.

Hi! I'm Kathleen and I got on M-net in March of 1995. (This is beginning
to sound a bit like an Addictions Anonymous meeting.)
I'm currently a writer working on breaking into the fiction market. I've
already been published in magazines and such for my non-fiction work, but
fiction is where some of the *big* money is.
Prior to this, I worked for 13 years for Investigative Associates on Pauline
in AA. IA is a private investigation firm. I worked as an operative, then
got promoted to training new operatives. I specialized in paper trails.
References upon request.
Oh yes! I have two sons -- ages 25 and 6 and am married to Don Wenzel. We
live on the west side of Ypsilanti.

I'm Steve. I was on M-Net a lot three or four years ago, but decided I liked
Grex better. Now I recreate my account on M-Net occasionally to read teh
policy conference (when peopel start talking a lot about something goin on
there), but I don't log in often enough to avoid having to rerun newuser
almost every time.

Well, alright kids, I'm Sonnet.
And I live in Moline, IL.
I've been an m-netter for about 2 years, if you count the login changes.
And, hmm.. okay, I like to organize indie shows. And eat chinese food.
And anyone who knows me well knows the legacy of wokgrrl.
I'm 17, and I'll be a freshman in college this August.
Hitting the community college circuit.
In the meantime, I'm a psychiatric intern at Southpark Psychiatry.
And, d'uh, that's in Moline, too.
I've made some pretty bad attempts at trying to visit AA, as you might
already be familiar with. :-)
Well, that's me. Like it or die. :-)

I am the ever infamous Mad Hugging squirrel from m-net
I used to manage a record store here in ann arbor...however I
have left that for "greener pastures"
I now work in Dearborn, MI doing network ops with jazz and a few
others
I am a guitar player in my spare time and no I'm not in a band
nor do I care to be in one at the moment
That's about it for me at the moment...oh yeah...METALLICA is my
fav band
