Paul,

You know, I was waiting for something to download in the background,
so I killed a little time in the archives. Went back even before I
joined. I discovered two unintentionally hilarious things:

1. The fights between JI enthusiasts and ET enthusiasts have been
going on a _long_ time!

2. History does, nearly, repeat itself. (see below)

When I was women's clothes recently, I made the comments in one of
the posts as follows:

[Them]> Try letting someone else read what you write before you
post it.

[Me] "Hey honey, look at this: the pot's calling the kettle black!"

So I looked in one of the archive digests at Mill's, from 1994, and
found this exchange (name changed to protect the ... whatever):

[Them]> Entertaining as they be, I have found the "noises off"
gunfire, (as Mr. X puts further shots into his feet), fairly
distracting.

[Other them] Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle. What color did you say you
were again?

Humans are so, so predictable.

Cheers,
Jon

P.S. Do you think someone moved stuff around at Mills? There are more
archives/digests than I remember last time I went slumming over
there...
