To Mike Doherty: Thanks for remembering my first appearance and what
became such a peculiar landmark on my fic writing "career"

That's Mark, and of course I remembered. After all, I wrote what was, from
memory, the first spamfic that tried to answer the dead parrot one. Quite
well-known FFMLers of the time were vomiting into my mailbox over that
one. Gods, I loved the responses to that. Kept me laughing for days 
afterwards. They were great. I might note, that fic never seemed to ruin
my fic career, so don't let it worry you(of course, I wasn't a newbie,
even if I was relatively new to the list, but that's besides the point).

I thought about reposting it, for old times sake, but I figured
it wasn't worth it, since it's on my spamfic page at my webpage. Go
have a look, if you're curious to see how we did it in the old days...
(shakes cane at everyone)

It's the Answer to a Challenge one, if any of you want to look.
