Yes, actually, I had known that... :)  It's just that when it comes to
messaging, I tend to be more reactive than proactive, and there's
generally less happening here in AsianLink than in Memories that I would
normally hook onto... <G>  The slower to reply is understandable, too...
and I'm USUALLY guilty of that*, most of the time...  <G>

I'll pass along your greetings. :)  For now I think I'll pass on
COOKING, as I really don't have the time to add another regular echo. 
I used to have more interest in cooking and kitchen things than I do
now, but then I haven't really had the time or energy to do much messing
in the kitchen lately, either...  :)

 CS> OHH!  The new 'cess-pit echo'!  Yeah, it's a small set of sysops that

At least it's settled down again mostly...  :)  It does give a window on
the workings of Fidonet in general, as well as a bit of a window on the
world, being an international echo... even though often it isn't the
view that the participants would really wish to be seen, had they been
thinking and not just going off.... 

 CS> Ouch, well hopefully all works out.  I'll be finishing my military

He's started to apply at jobs obviously not in his field, but so far not
with any more success...  If the economy really IS starting to pick up,
maybe when you get out of the service there will be* jobs out there
again... :)  I'm hoping that it will be picking up in the next few
months, actually...  we're only COBRA'd for health care until May, and
then we have to figure out how to take care of that, too...

 NB>>Is your family surviving your increased absence ok?
 CS> So far all is well.  It's too long though.  I've been gone way too
 CS> much this last 2 years.

I wish you and yours well... :)
