i meant prepositional phrase... which is actually fine, but it made
the next statement i made funnier... to me...

no, no, i think you're on to something... i am worried about
grammar, and 'resource' is just a descriptor, really... so how about:
"Evolt.org is."
but since we want evolt.org to be lower-case we can move it to the
end:
"This is evolt.org."
but, evolt.org is redundant, we know it already... so cut it:
"This is."
and 'is' is also redundant, since it's a state of being, so:
"This."
and, well, we know where we are, so i guess that's kinda
redundant, now, too, so:
""
> prepositionally yours,
on.
sorry...
right on.
d'oh! still grammatically wrong...
