The cold is about 90% better, thanks.
Nilo is actually a lady, a bit older than you or I, she has a long usenet
pedigree and was one of the people who set up the alt.fan.uncle-davey
newsgroup along with Tom Calwell, and some others who supported it.
Anyway, she sort of comes and goes. I am always pleased to see her. Mainly
she is on soc.singles, a group I left because it has nothing left but
in-fighting and rancour, so I don't get to read much of what she writes
these days.
I was sad to see a very syncretistic approach in these posts by her, as she
was a lot more open to our style of thinking about a year ago.
