  Maybe I should have said dislike at first
sight.

  I'm a pretty even tempered guy and usually
get along with everybody. But I have disliked some
people upon initial meeting so I was speculating
about the possibility of it happening when meeting
an e-friend. (My co-worker Garth will attest that
I've only lost my temper once at someone at work
in the 6+ years we've been here. It was a grad
student who would come to me for advice on his
hardware design {electronics}, use up a lot of
my time then go and do the opposite of what I
said.)

  I'm sure I could get along with anyone on
this list. Maybe not as room-mates but certainly
for a week or two (if we ever have that MF stereo
get together).

  That's pretty much the real me. Though I'm
more handsome in person :)

  The only drug I take in any quantity is
chocolate, preferably Belgian.  :)

  No professional wrestling in my past I'm
afraid. I'm about 30 kg to light for that
profession.
