 Tim,

Right on, Tim! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am thinking about
changing my online name to DeepDish@Mi*.co* or how 'bout
DeepDooDoo@Mi*.co*??  Huh? Waddaya think, guys?  

Lighten UP, really! It doesn't matter ONE FLICK whether or not your name is
Deep, Shallow or DiveDeep&Dangerous!!  Anyone who does dives based on a word
in a name is a moron anyway and personally I think this conversation pretty
moronic as well, but then what did I expect?

Flame-on, it's a crazy feeling,

JoeL
DeepDrawers@Mi*.co*
