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...
