 . Well.<<BR>>

 . I don't know about _that_, but I would like to propose that those who have
 . been active on this [[newsgroup]] some time may well be a Legion of their own. . .

 . the Legion of Net.Heroes.

 . We even have our own set of villains, who appear and vanish from time to time.
 . Probably the best candidate for net.arch.villain would be Omega.Mosely, who
 . vanishes and reappears with the same stochastic irregularity as a good Batman
 . villain.  We've also had such perils as the Black Dude with the Hat, the
 . Fundamentalist Circle, and the Fagbashing Empire. . .

 . I don't want to propose noms du net.hero for others, but you've given your
 . own:  Spelling Boy.  Fair enough.  The power is obvious also.

 . In his absence (sniff!), I'll propose that Jerry Boyajian be [[retcon]]ned as
 . Jayem Bee, a/k/a [[Bibliography Boy]], whose power was the ability to answer any
 . obscure question.

 . Me?  I guess I can join up as California Kid, whose power is to read comix
 . weeks after everyone else has discussed 'em. . .

 . You are trapped in that bright moment where you learned your doom.

 . My opinions do NOT represent Pacific Bell,
 . Professional Development, or anyone else.
 . But I'm willing to share.
