Can't help you with this one. I go by Boris Grigorov when I write from my
Excite account and by Grigorov, Boris when I write from work, and receive
the digest in both accounts. If it comes during the day, I read it during
brakes at work, in the eves I read and write from the other. Really want to
use my real first name, which is Borislav, but having someone pronounce your
name is not exactly a conversation starter.so, even in legal docs, it has
been Boris for the past 11 years.

Of course, coz you did not. Somewhere between meetings (on that little
later), I confused Lama and Moose

Nope, I do not have it (I'll check again when I get home..more on this
later) and yes I understand, and have not confused this one (yet...).
Actually I have been on this list since early 1997?, but of course you do
not know much about me, because the only messages I ever posted were the
"make fun of someone's spelling" type ...:-). Never owned a gun or an SUV
and do not know much about them.except from reading about them here. So
that makes me unqualified to write about what seems to be the 3/4 of the
message traffic on this list.

That's Lama (as promised, more on that later.). Why does it seem that
everyone else on this list knows about audio more than I do. And I am the
one who build a system myself. Guess have to start keeping up again with
all that @#$%.

Nope, you can't get away with this one, this list has too many watchful
eyes. See, I did not get away with it, neither will you. I new yesterday
driving on the way home what I did, but ducked, hoping that no one would
really read my messages.
So, this is the hour of revelation. I think I have an excuse for all this.
See, in the past two years, with the exception of one measly month an a
half, I do not remember working less than 11 hours a day. This is something
that I must do (for a while). No, it is not the lifestyle or any of that.
As a matter of fact, I require very little space and very few material
things to be happy.
My purpose in life, I know how pathetic this sounds, is to get some sleep.
Somewhere between meeting and reading at odd hours, being exhausted and
trying to keep with everyone and everything, I confused Lama and Moose's
Sigma and audio activities (but you have to give me a credit, coz I
discovered it on my own.). So, now I am embarrassed , because I made a big
A@@ of myself.
Lama and Moose, please, accept my apologies. I promise, that next time when
I decide to check your spelling, I would credit the right person.
Seriously, I am really sorry.
Now back to work.
Boris
P.S. My other Sigma arrived last night, opinions on it would be posted when
available.
