be sure as many folks from t.o as possible have a chance to know me as

Turns out I'm a girl! I hope you're all well.

they can legislate you out of existence discourage you from
contributing.

Thank you! Don't know that I have all that much to say here; the diminishing of usenet is unfortunate, but it's a problem bigger than my little self can fix.
