Whats the longest period of time you've gone without feeling the need to
brag about yourself to others?  You forgot to list that.

We REALLY wanted to know this.  In fact, let me write it down!

Again, we really wanted to know that.  Since you really like to talk about
yourself, while you're at it, why dont you just whip it out and give us
measurements as well, to make it complete?

Since you get SO MANY emails a day, surely you can understand the necessity
to check email once or twice a day while away from home, simply to sort and
filter stuff so that you can catch up with it after being away for a week.

If you want I can setup chrisbyrne-list at sunhelp.org and you can brag on and
on and give even more personal details to those who care, and spare the rest
of us...
