RE: In defense of lurkers

I just had to post a reply to this and let John know that I thoroughly enjoyed
his post. It made me smile at at time when I'm not smiling much. Anyway.
Since it seems I am a permanent lurker in my own right, I will let you all
know that I am proudly reading my advanced copy of Pattern Recognition by
William Gibson, autographed by the same. I will post my thoughts on this if
it is wished upon completion.
What CPUs best define you?
haha, I'll explain later...
Peace,
Levi
