He's an Amish vampire.
If he's Amish, he could at least introduce me to Kelly McGillis. Oh wait, she just came out of the closet... OK a reasonabe facsimile.

Whats funny is Mike G asked the question and I just saw him in the last issue? Looks pretty good for his age too.

I had to go look that up... "Luddite". I'm sure that is a pearl of wisdom I'll be able to use on a regular basis... :-)

All right, all right. It was a little error on the site. When someone loaded in the Q&A the date wasn't plugged in (it is now and will go live tomorrow). Jan 1900 is the default date (don't ask me why). Though he is very wise, Andy's not that old, of course.
Kudos to you though, Paul, for clicking around the site!

I've got to fix it! I hate errors on the site. . .even funny ones that make Andy a centenarian. Course, if he were older, maybe he could retire from his real job and help me mod the forum full time.
Just imagine the possibilities with Andy (Ancient Andy) as a Mod...
