'Twas the night before 27-Sep-98, and all through the net,
 not a creature was stirring, except for Myrla, who whispered ominously:

A little confusion here. I was talking about the descs made available
to guests either as default or through tramming. As guest wrangler/gardener
Gyro has kind of the final word on what they get to look like, so he can
make sure they don't look better than him. ;P

Someone I know on Furry has a long "desc" I haven't seen most of because
it scrolled off the screen before I could read it. And the last part that
stayed until it got spammed off was the kind of data that belongs in the
pinfo..... *sigh*
Or how about "Myrla is a tiger who has 56 stripes on her body. The first
one runs like this..."

"Got him! Now hold him down while I spray him... Uh... Any of you know
how to use this thing?"

(In case someone should find that as confusing as a previosu comment of
mine: We're still talkingabout skunk guests, right?)

Well that's one thing the batch file method would be good for...
