Sorry 'bout that.  Wasn't really trying to be unkind... but maybe came off

meant, went "EUREKA!!!"... and either immediately retired or slowly weened
ourseves from the rat-race to stay home with the wife'n'kids, backyard
broccolli patch, and neighbours.  Who says that this new digital medium
doesn't enhance community?
