By the way, Robin has a big boomer hate thread on Cougaruteforum. You may want to check that out, Waters.

Funny how boomers keep getting more numerous. I didn't used to be one. What is the begin and end dates?

So in some ways it is merely a trade of me for Robin. Given that to some degree CP was a reaction to Robin (not entirely, but partly), and that CP is arguably what led to the downfall of CG, the whole thing has a kind of snake-swallowing-its-tail irony and harmony. I could not have imagined it at the beginning, but now at the end, it makes me smile. |
