Nurachi,
It is only fitting that as the IMDB boards die a painful death that you post this one last time. You kept posting it during the tenure of the show.
Peace to you Nurachi, you were one of the people that made this board entertaining during its heyday.
Now all we need is for lilac to to make a parting shot and it will be like old times.
