Back in 1997, there was a mailing list called awaken, started around Julie's old Awaken site, which attracted some rather interesting characters. One of them is named bRYEnd Prosser and his writing style... is interesting. Here's a typical example, try wrapping your brain around it...

(^> The Eudora Pro , version 2.1.2, is the Spell Checker I'm using.
(^> The ramifications of setting the options to : always suggest,
(^> and leaving ALL other options turned off, and always hitting ignore ,
(^> is that of unzipping alternative meanings to what I  type.
(^> I type too much as it is, and I preffer that others figure out WHY they
(^> assume I'm being nasty. .   In some cases, the ambiguity leaves the
(^> 'yiewsers' staring themselves in the face.. but, he11.
(^> we'll just close our eyes, then, won't we?
(^> Go back to living in the "REAL" world, Where everything bad is from the
(^> outside. I wont believe that.  Could and have, but won't for now.
(^> We just fool ourselves  into thinking politeness is honorable,
(^> even if it covers seething rage at our own impudent ' imputtance '.
(^> 'forrum' now on, I'm going to use  the unshifted quote to
(^> mark 'perposely' 'mispelled' words in my e-mails.
