   Oh, it's awfully nice to hear from you Ali.  I've kept on wondering   
   where you'd gone, these years.   
      
   Remember how you laughed when I pretended to be Paul in rast back in   
   2001?  I've been pulling away from usenet quite a bit but I thought   
   especially about you this April 1st when I posted my annual prank.   
   Turns out people have grown so used to me posting one that none of the   
   regulars believe what I post anymore.  So, although I hadn't read from   
   or about him in years, I decided to have a big laugh and post it under   
   the old PH fake moniker.  I was particularly hoping that he would   
   notice and react (so the prank would be on him too) and that you'd get   
   lots and lots of amusement out of it.  But apparently he never   
   noticed.   
      
   Anyway, the prank was a spoof on the George Takei coming out of the   
   closet reports, only applied to Adam Baldwin (who plays Jayne in   
   _Firefly_ and _Serenity_, and generally a tough and rugged manly dude   
   just about everywhere else).  It's probably still on Google, at the   
   Firefly, rast, servo and mws.mod groups.   
      
   It's very nice to see you --or rather, read you-- too.   
      
   Hugs,   
      
   Jaime
