First off, Max, I will not marry you, nor even flirt with you, I am a man of honor, and have been hugged by Alison.

Secondly; Geez Joe, You got Harpgirl AND Jenny ready to dook it out, and you have to go after the only woman who has ever cyber-hugged me. All this because I made a few eensy weensy jokes about Como, Williams, et al.

Finally, and seriously, I am so happy that you have got it back online. I have been near frantic for the last few days. Maybe it is time for the rest of us who live and breathe Mudcat to consider making a wee donation for its sustenance. If those of us who are core constituents would consider a contribution of whatever could be afforded, it would perhaps help out. I know that Max, Dick, Susan will not make the plea. So I am making it for them. Post a snail mail address, and my check for $50.00 is in the mail.

Oh, and one more thing. Alison, check out the thread titled "YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE". Offer admits that he hasn't washed his tee shirt in 6 months. No kind of a fella for a class woman like yourself. :-))

All the best,

Mick
