Actually I don't think Bulley started this, I believe I egged him on with a
reply attempting to mimic Eric.  I just didn't post it to the list, Bulley
gets all the credit for that.  [Wish I'd thought of it]

It was done in the spirit of pure admiration.  Eric's posts were usually
technically good, as far as I could tell [not very far] and they many times
had me laughing hysterically.  He was mean spirited, cruel, illiterate, it's
true but he did have some bad qualities, too.  All in all a pretty darn good
curmudgeon.  I thought I'd seen him from time to time.  I hope so, he seemed
to know a bunch of stuff worth knowing, and the list will be a poorer place
without him.

I mean Bulley did a great job and got the spirit, but, let's face it,
there's only one original.  Really thought you were getting there with the
cheerleader comment.  Maybe with a little work...

Peace, love and granola

Mike
