: Good morning again LOMers. Kathy, I had that very same thought.

Hi folks
Bill gave me some hard times thinking 'bout where I'm supposed to stand: among SYMTs or GGGGs? Is there any expiring age? Am I wading the tumultuous waters of GGGG river or self-absorbing myself in the quite babbling mountain stream of SYMT? Or was it vice-versa? I forgot and fear that forgetting delivers me right into GGGGs. Early Alzheimer knocking at my door. Who am I?
who are you and (worst of all) who is Eric?
Anyway, as far as Magua vs. Uncas, I think long fighting experience of the older one played an important role, whilst as for Chinga vs. Magua dont forget that the first was lead by desperation and probably the deepest pain one can ever feel.
This could give enourmous strength and determination, I think.
Anyway...Guess I'd better take a nap and think about the whole darn matter.
Ciao
