There's that strange, quirky gene that shows up on our family's DNA strands too, characterized by a deliciously ornery sense of humor. I have to admit, the guy makes a lot of sense. Which tells you more about me than him, if he was only kidding. Now, taking Ed's propsal to the next logical step here, we develop an alpha-numerical code for names, based on the World War II unbreakable code, written in Navajo. Linda and Carlisle and Vernon and a few more trusted Marshco folks hold the cipher keys, and we get volunteers to re-edit all the information on the site, using the new alpha-numerical codes instead of names. (Everyone has to edit their own databases, however, changing the names to numbers, etc. To those whose dues are up to date, we provide a simple macro which handles the changes automatically, if you can speak Navajo.) Then, we... (where you getting this "we" stuff, Jim-Bob?) we SELL the code to FTM, LDS, CIA, whatever. As soon as THEY publish a new CD, we CHANGE the code! The we resell the key, etc., etc., etc. We could call ourselves, say, BroaderBurn Publishing, or something, a division of MarshCo, a wholly owned subsidiary of WVMARSHA, now selling at 19 5/8 on the NASDAC, so get in early, before we split three for one. Sorry, gotta go now. It's time for my medicine... jim = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = James Wiley, AKA: [email protected]
