I'd like to open the floor down here and start kicking 
around some of the issues you Below the Fold readers 
might have on your mind.  I'm always going on and on 
about my soap opera memories and train stories.  And 
you guys write in and tell me I'm strange and offer 
various remedies.  Well, I want to know some of those 
things that are keeping you up at night.  So, this 
being a new year, let's get cracking on some fresh 
ideas.  Who knows.. this Below the Fold thing could 
be all the rage in 2000.  

Send in any compelling and/or burning issues you've 
got scurrying around your brain.  Maybe you've got 
a telling tale to tell.  Whatever.. just send them 
in -- we'll throw 'em in the ring and see if they 
can put up a good fight. 

Let's shake it up a bit.  

I'll also be taking questions if you've got something 
you'd like to know about the sanity-challenged creator 
of this little space down here.  Let's keep it 
professional people, nobody wants to hear about 
how I spend my off-hours.  I wouldn't be able to 
tell you anyway.. part of my parole agreement.  
Just kidding.  

Maybe you're wondering just what the heck this whole 
Below the Fold thing is about.  What was I thinking 
when I started?  Did it begin as the simple ramblings 
of an unsound mind or a calculated attempt to take 
over the world... or at least two solid blocks of 
it?  

So fire away.  I'll reserve the right to keep 
my tongue inside my cheek when responding.  But 
it's all part of the give-and-take process.
