"But I wonder if MS will try to have her removed since she worked for the DoJ before becoming a judge." They can try but, since I'm sure that someone's tried that before, they will fail. Besdies, she didn't work for the antitrust division. Microsoft won't be able to keep delaying too much longer. Respectfully, Kimball Kinnison, L2

It's just that it must be twenty years (or 25?) since I read any Lensman stuff, so I couldn't remember where I knew it from... So what's with the new guy, that he doesn't use his own name? Eh? I blame Simon Jester; t'was him wot started this pseudonym shit, that now has got us as far as "Orion Blastar"... (Anybody heard anything from Norm, BTW? WTF is up wid'dat?) And myself, for not recognizing it years earlier and taunting him for it. Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything
