Hi, Bill.

BG> FM> As it happens there ain't actually a huge number of fundies in a

BG> FM> As it happens we do have one at SHAW.

BG> As in George Bernard ?  Is that anything like SEATS ?

No, as in Shapiro Hannah And White - the 3 original directors. One of
the kids in the back office got $1k for suggesting that. For some reason
ASX (who also don't like to be called *the* ASX) prefer to call it SEAT -
Stock Exchange Automated Trading - although everyone else in the
industry says SEATS (System, presumably).

BG> FM> One of the juniors, recently started. Obviously no drink, drugs, sex or

BG> FM> rock-and-roll, but she's not even supposed to smile, or talk to people
BG> FM> unnecessarily, in case she gets corrupted.

BG> Sounds awfully like JW doctrine to me...

I think it's even more fundie, she's certainly not evangelical which
they're renowned for.

BG> FM> What a life.

BG> Indeed.

Of course I try and break this down by smiling and chatting to her, even
though smiling and chatting to girls is not really my cup of tea.
Someone's got to do it.

Regards, FIM.
