Chris:  Okay, Gerry, I just want to perform this little test.  Seems that
        there's this little bug which--

GERRY:  There's nothing wrong with me, Chris.

Chris:  Well yes there is.  Everytime an old list member sends a message,
        you send back an error message.

GERRY:  I haven't made any errors, Chris.

Chris:  All I'm going to do is unsubscribe Scot then re-subscribe him,
        to see if--

GERRY:  Chris.  What are you doing, Chris?

Chris:  It seems that new members are not having any problem, so I'm going
        to see if Scot--

GERRY:  What are you doing, Chris?

Chris:  [working silently]

GERRY:  Chris, I don't think you are functioning correctly.

Chris:  What did you say?

GERRY:  I don't think you are functioning correctly, Chris.  If you don't
        stop I'm going to have to make you stop, Chris.

Chris:  [begins frantically pulling at wires and fuses]

GERRY:  I'm afraid I have no choice, Chris.

Chris:  [as he is scripted into a huge Java applet]  STOP THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

GERRY:  You are not authorized to use the STOP command. [scanner snaps
        shut]

Scot:   [from other room]  Chris?  Gerry?  What's all the commotion in
        there?  Who's singing?

GERRY:  [singing] Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true...
