OK I was thinking it might have something to do with a Douglas Adams' "So
Long, and Thanks For All the Fish" line about "Take me to your lizard."
Here I will confess that I am not a true techno-wizard, but merely rather
only the lower ranking techno-geek wannabe, for I never really did see what
was so funny about Douglas Adams.  Amusing, but not fall on the floor
laughing funny.

The reference might have been accidental; perhaps Eliezer will comment
further.  I will not for this is my fifth and last post of the day.  

Thanks guys, lotta good commentary going on ExI today and yesterday.  Lee is

saw something from our much missed Amara, Gene isn't having to kick anyone's
butt, people are not jumping each other's cases, ahh life is gooood.  {8-]
