APO-mensch,
So Benazeer has valiantly volunteered to PC the project on May 5th (info
included below). Unfortunately she cannot be there after 3. She needs a
VPC (or co-PC) to be there in the afternoon after she leaves to make sure
that everything is alright, ship-shape and topside. This requires
obscenely little effort, in fact if I were the head of a (philanthropic)
totalitarian government I would have you shot for *not* volunteering to do
this.
Any takers? E-mail me and benazeer@mit.edu
Love, snuggles, and teddy bears,
Eric
PS Obviously I will have to clear it with the uber-fuher Ian, but if he's
alright with it, I think that I *will* have all of you shot for not
volunteering...
