From the spiked blond hair and extensive amount of hardware penetrating his body I immediately sense that he may have been more at home lurking on the LUG reading Kyle's very educational mail about the current "Gothic Culture" than perusing Adams' classic works on Mont Saint Michel and Chartres. My answer that the cathedrals have nothing to do with buxom blondes in tight bodiced victorian dresses or guys in black trench coats was the wholly unexpected response that reinforced my reputation as a sage. Fortunately, I have been lurking on the LUG reading Kyle's very educational mail about the current "Gothic Culture" and following his daily contributions to the education of another generation. My appreciation of those shots of his was strictly academic, of course. Viva Continuing Education. It really does take all kinds. Thanks, Bill Lawlor ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Bill, I have to agree. Reading and watching Kyle's shots has made for much greater "respect" from the younger members of the staff here in sunny Ballarat ;-) How did a old grey hair like him learn all that stuff? Mind you, I'm glad not all Goth's are built like week 46 ;-) Cheers - -- Alastair Firkin http://www.afirkin.com
