Absolutely agree - a really touching portrait, of both of the Hermanos Rodriguez, actually. "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:eiwd8.10412$[email hidden]...

Atleast I took the tome to mark my post 'OT' Tom... so that those who might not like OT-stuff can avoid it...

Still, I read it and it didn't burn my eyes. I've been here since '93, and I don't care if OT stuff like this mixes its way into r.a.s., as the group dynamic generally dictates the ratio between sim-related and OT stuff, so it never gets "out of hand". I found the netiquette follow-ups in that thread to be much more irrelevant. Stephen
