    Hm... I have an electronic answering machine running as a disconnected
process on the VM system, and FLU left a cute little message on it,
something like, "Hi!  You don't know who this is!"
    I mailed FLU, or Francis Lu (MTH undergrad), back with information
on hometown, phone number, interests, etc, saying, "Sure I do..."   :)
Oddly enough, this person never replied... guess I scared 'em.  :)
(It's amazing what one can find with just a Baby Book and phone directory)
    Sounds like a friendly (?) user who is lonely or something...
 
    Maybe Francis Lu will followup on this thread, huh?
 
:)  Eric
