Hi everybody,

I have decided to quit Conch-L! Well, I know this is a shock, because I've
said so many times before. But last night I received an automatic message
from a machine and I don't want to understand what does it say, so I'll
assume that it's demeaning.

If I get enough public messages telling me how much you all love me and hate
the other Conchlers, then maybe I'll stay on a little longer before
threatening to quit again. Not very long, because the results seem to
diminish as people catch on.

No publicity is bad publicity, you know! It gives me a good opportunity to
post even more messages to Conch-L and gain even more support from people
who haven't figured me out yet.

Oh, and before I sign out -- maybe forever!-- don't forget to send ALL your
shells to me -- er, to the Museu Brasileiro de Conchas Doadas por Panacas.
It's for a good cause! Just don't ignore me!!

BTW, I looked in the dictionary the meaning of paranoia and I couldn't find
it, but I think my shadow is following me and I don't like it. I really
think that someone in the list asked it to follow me.

Before I quit, Helmut your Conus auratinus is on the way to Austria. The
parcel registration number is ER906194644BR, and it can be seen at

Sniff, sniff, sob, sob

Donate a shell to the Museu Brasileiro de Conchas Doadas por Panacas and
Bill Gates will send you a million dollars!
