the anatomy of the away messageInstant messaging. Undoubtedly, this type of program, which has its roots in AOL 1.0 and Prodigy (as well as other early ISPs that I am vastly unaware of) has reshaped communications technology on all levels. People need not worry about long distances in order to discuss issues as large as the political world right

It is good to have you back. You know how I need humor in my life. I like your take on the Away Messages. I've been out of the IM world for a while now. Can't say that I miss it much. I do miss talking to you though...but since we aren't in college any more, we're home less and less. I prefer a cell phone these days.

Once I figure out who this is, I will call you...or have I already?

Trac, once again I must exclaim you rock. However, you did miss the all important random comment coming from nowhere. Some of my personal favorites that popped to mind one day were "way to go, paco, that was our last burrito" and the ever-popular "where's the lever that drops the anvil?" Where did these come from? I'm not sure. How were these inspired? Beats me. But wherever that place is, deep in the recesses of my brain, I like it. I wish I could afford a life where I just get lost there all the time. However, then I'd be a stoner and that's not my bag baby. Oh well, I digress. Good work ese.

Perhaps I neglected to cover that category...but how could I possibly do a send up such pure genius? All I would be able to provice is an honest appraisal. I mean, I could try to be sarcastic...let's see if I can make an addendum, using one of your examples:
