well i was merely speculating. a pm to mike would probably involve either something medical or a flirt and so i took the less obvious option. "Here kitty kitty...." - Schroedinger.

Dentrassi, so sorry to hear about your recent malady. A penicillin injection should clear that right up.
Hook, I don't recall a PM, but you can always try again.
Storma, is that a promise?

I wrote to you shortly after you wrote an article for HoP about the dangers of over-heating in a nightclub.
I was asking for advice for those of us of a cold-blooded nature.

1337 stands for "LEET," which is a shortening of "ELEET," from the English "elite." You are an "31337" hacker if you can use 1337-speak.
And I have demonstrated that with the help of any one of many online translation tools, 1337 speak is open to all of us, now!

Mike, it was great to meet you.
I had fun- even if I was a more popular 'gay guy' in the bar than you!
I hope your interview went well.
Come back and visit soon.
Lets steal a spaceship and head for the sun, and shoot the stars with a lemonade ray gun.
