... hmmmmm a bit ironic isn't it <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I wanted to change it to "resident curmudgeon" but I couldn't figure out how <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, you've figured it out, I guess it's time to come clean. "aardwolfe" and I are really the same person. That's why nobody has ever seen us in the same room together.

When we fissioned the two personas early on, everything seemed to go fine, but over time PL's status changed with his other statistics, and aardwolfe's didn't, so it was bound to be noticed sooner or later. Sort of a cyberspace "Picture of Dorian Gray" thing.

Some of you were getting dangerously close to the truth, so I/we decided to throw off suspicion by taking this roundabout way to lend The Snow Walker dvd to myself... for which, while I'm at it, I should really thank myself, it was quite enjoyable.

Now that I/we have been discovered, I/we will have to abandon these, uh, aliaii, and go away, only to start all over again. I'm just not sure whether I will return as two personas next time, or we will return as just one.

By the way, "brian", I/we can't help but notice that you have no status at all... so to speak. Odd, isn't it? And yet, you were so quick to point out discrepancies in others....

Have you ever thought that maybe.. there's only one real person on this forum, other than yourself?

I'm sure the rest of us have.

But, how could I know that?

Unless... ???

AH HA ... I knew you were up to something ... the jig is up mister.

As far as my blank status. I am not here. You do not see me. Just go about your business. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yah, that's because your user image is broken again.

thats the downside of imgpost.com ... their servers go down a lot

I've had "The Snow Walker" longer than I intended to, and I apologize for that. Didn't have time to view it until Saturday evening, and since I'm doing a long subway commute to work, and work is no where near a post office, I haven't had the chance to get it back in circulation yet (sorry, Tom).

But.. I'm going to be "off" on Friday, so I should be able to get it off on Friday morning.

While we're at it...

Having benefited from the generosity of others in the Lending Library (thanks, aardwolfe) got me to thinking what I might be able to give back.

I have a copy of Mors Kochanski's "Bushcraft" that I'd be happy to contribute if anyone's interested; I don't think I saw that it was already out there, if it is, I apologize:

Amazon/Bushcraft

Then there's another thought. I don't know if there's a Library policy on fiction, but those who hang out here probably remember that I've often named Robert A. Heinlein's book "Tunnel in the Sky" as my favorite "survival" novel, and some others who have read it have responded enthusiastically.

Amazon/Tunnel in the Sky

If anyone's interested, and there's no objection to fiction in the "pool", I'd be glad to make that available as well. Just let me know.

P_L,

Since you offer - please add the Mors K book in the package! I'll send it on to the next person quickly.

Have my own RAH books <grin>.

I guess I better go dig thru the library and see if I have any goodies to loan...

Tom

"Bushcraft"- that isn't a book on how to put a hex on the president, is it?
