There are actually a number of us on the list, but like old soldiers, we've
seen it all (especially eternal return) and are a bit battle scarred to
boot. I'd suggest ya hit the archives for long and extensive discussions of
N's more common themes, and think of anything bizarre or novel as far as the
list goes. Anyhow, I've no intention to put ya off at all, just thought I'd
try to offer a reason for what appears to be a lack of life here. In fact,
it's great to see new faces here--yum--fresh blood! Jest kidding. Welcome
again gang ;)
