Hey, thanks for taking care of the end of the alphabet with the dreaded SsS* spam. It's best to take it off the site as soon as possible, and you did a great jorb keeping it off the dreamail page. Oh, and welcome to the Wiki! --FortyTwo 21:19, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

- Yeah, I knew about it. I just didn't think of using it. Mainly because "is in" was already being used as a redirect to "Is in".
