Oh, I'm happy enough right now. I think I slept smiling. There are muscles
in my face that have not been used in far too long, BUT... thank you for
making that happiness even more/less broad based... broad is spelled the
same way no matter which diffenition you're using, isn't it?

It might be good for you to tell them how incredibly wonderful you are, but
I figure we should just keep that our secret. They'll figure it out soon
enough. Oh. Wait, I cced the list didn't I. Chris... can we do an
auto-erase of the hive mind? I want them all to forget I just said that...

I've heard it's a title of respect. If a title is of respect, one should
never shun it. "Fuzzy." My old nickname (when I looked a lot more like you
and a little less like me) was "Fuzzy." It actually started out dirogatory
by people who didn't like me, but my friends adopted it (sort of to get the
others to shut up) because they thought I was. Warm fuzzy and all....
Gardner was also a given nickname (it's really my surname) that I mistakenly
thought was an insult. I often wonder how different my life would have been
if I had adopted it in Second Grade when it was given. I addopt it now.

It's also different from a pronounced lisp.

Scotch/Irish actually. A point of much pride until I recently found out
that I have one French relative. It's okay, it all balances out in the
scheme of things because I also discovered I have a full blooded native
great grandmother.
> jamie...or Wookie...or "hey, would you shut up" :)
How about, "Hey, would you please say more cause we love you." ?
Gardner.
