Mary is quite handy with the soft drinks and graham crackers when you're 
feeling queasy.  That, and she has about the most consistently sharply 
pointed wit I know of, and never seems to miss her target.  She's 
diplomatic, persistent, and committed to her principles without being 
closed-minded.  If I ever have kids, I'd want them to adopt her as a role 
model. (Plus I think she'd be hella fun for them as a stand-in gramma!)

Don't worry, Mary, Eric won't have kids for another 60 years or so. :)

Thank you :) That was the main aim of this item. I've seen too many items
where a political discussion, or even a mechanical one takes a mud-slinging
turn. 

Also, I've met very few of the people who post on here. I have formed opinions
of most people based on what they post and what's posted about them. This item
has been pretty helpful in knowing some of these people better (I'd rather
not focus on their negative points, I prolly won't meet many of these people,
so  I'm not interested in their failings)

Brooke, we haven't spoken since I did it, but the curly hair's gone. Spent
$500 to straighten it using that Japanese thermal conditioning, and it's
pretty straight now. Still wondering if I made the right choice. 

Thanks for the kind words. :)

I'd say Sapna put some of my old memories back into Grex... she's fun-
loving and enjoys party, which I haven't had as much patience for 
because the flavor of participation has changed since I last 
participated about seven years ago.  But again, very vibrant and 
youthful, which I think is a good thing for Grex.

Aww, thank you.

Polytarp/dah/David Hoffman is indeed most vibrant and youthful, though he is
incredibly shy on the phone. If you want to have a phone conversation, talk
to naftee. But I digress.

What I like about mary, and this I learned from remmers is that she took on
the oboe or cello about 10 years ago, learned to play it, and plays it well.
She was one of the people who inspired me to start learning the piano so late,
I was apprehensive about being an adult beginner. Apart from that she has
quite a sharp wit. And has gone out of her way to look at other options like
colo for grex.

Next on the list would be munkey. I'll start. Even though munkey did not state
me as her favorite grexer ( :(), she definitely is one of mine. I remember
munkey from 1998, when I first started using grex (under a different
login), and I liked her even then. I remember looking at her old homepage,
with the swinging monkey. I got to know her better in 2002, when I returned
to grex, and had the good fortune to meet her last year. She was definitely
a lot of fun, and meeting her in person strengthened my belief in her as a
wonderful human being. She's great with web-design, and designed a web=page
for my cat, free of charge (www.geocities.com/mynxie2002), and of course we
have www.grexergallery.net which has been a great success. Besides designing
it, munkey is also paying for the domain name and web-space. Any offering to
help is met with instructions to donate the money to grex. I for one am very
glad to have met her (and we did share quite a few, ahem, secrets at one
point).

so what do you guys think about munkey?

Momo's a gas.  I'm glad she's been doing a pictures webpage... balynce 
is a good friend too, but the pages haven't been updated for a little 
while and this is real nice... I consider it a bridge from older days 
to new, I guess :)  Older Grex pictures (balynce) to newer Grex 
pictures (munkey) :)

The Grexer Gallery forum has been a fun little sidebar, too.

The other nice thing was being able to chat in party with someone who 
was in the same time zone as I was!  Heh, I remember one time when we 
were watching the same program on Cartoon Network...  some Popeye 
cartoon where Olive Oyl had some voice that was different than her 
usual characteristic one... hehehe.  Just little stuff like that.

Oh, and the Munkey Grexer Soundcast... momo, you need to bring that 
back.

I don't know much more about munkey than she does about me, but I 
think she's been doing a wonderful job at the Grex Gallery.  That's a 
real service.  Thanks, Morena!
