Hi there,

For some strange reason I was unable to reach
[a.a.a.] or any other newsgroup the past month.
Just don't know what happend... but now everything is
back to normal and I'm back too.
It was a bit boring down there without you guys. I got mad at
the supid machine but it didn't really help.
To tell you the the true: I've been through hell.
Interesting place really. By chance I had a sketch-book whith
me so I brought some drawings back.
Here is the first.

See ya all,


[Gate of Hell]

Hey Joris, 

You must be somehow connected to our server. We couldn't send anything out 
either. Weird. And strange that I didn't see you while we were in Hell too. We 
must have been shunted to different departments.

However, glad to see you back from the depths. Judging from the drawing, you 
have returned unscathed. 

To steal a Gary Larsen idea, here is the instrument I was given to play while 
in the abyss.

Thanks! Things were looking pretty bleak for a while there. I was even reduced 
to:
