malcs: as regards to your other question of drake raft, he was a 
fictional character in a book some jolly roger guy wrote, and they 
say he was killed in 1994 when the term generation X was affixed to 
them by the negative news media. it's really stupid because this book 
they wrote they compared it to Catcher! wishful thinking at its best, 
they have the first chapter at their site, it really sucks. sorry for 
being so mad on my last post.
