Re: Who's here: spot the lurker.

21 time travellers ... and me, waiting, b/c my parents always said "over 21, anything goes".

Re: Science Tidbits #6

Re: questions to the host

I don't do much around here. I generally just do as I'm ordered, and we're no much for orders on ReNext.

Please demote me to the membership rank of your choice, effective end-of-year 2020, Zulu. --or effective right now, if you prefer.
