Jay, you were some much-needed ethnic diversity; a 'person of colour'. <g> Such a silly expression. No, no! They don't mean a colourful person. They mean literally brown. I am a person of height but that doesn't rate in the racial steaks which Rambi loves raw. They go for ASTM Colour 4 or more in the USA.

This is an ancient thread from the SI stone age. I just popped in to say hello, spotted some stuff I thought I'd comment on and thought I'd drag you in too [since they were talking ethnic diversity and I thought I had a self-contained winner by entering you].

<led astray by Maurice having adopted my loop-the-loop trapdoor function that got him to my home thread in the first place>

Incidentally, I invented and patented that loop the loop stuff way back in June 1996 in SI! Posts still there somewhere. Michael Sphar can verify that [except that his memory is probably deficient]. You Johny-come-latelies can't usurp IPR like that.

This is Rambi's home zone. A gentle, pleasant, eddy in the crimson-stained torrent of the markets, SI and cyberspace. ['Rambi' being the female version of 'Rambo', not some reference to Bambi, which to Rambi is just steak still running around].

PS: Jay has gone bush, into the hinterlands of China for a few days, out of range of cyberspace ... now THAT's adventure! To Jay, I am just steak still running around - waiting to do a walrusi Message 15955477 over the cliff when he will pick over my carcass for whatever stocks he deems worthy of his effort in bending over.
