 DD> I never got into Star Trek that much - a few episodes of the
 DD> original and some fantasies about Nichelle Nichols was about it -
 DD> until Deep Space 9.  
 DD> Mine acted more like a dog in some things than like a moggie.

 ml> i had to look up 'moddie'... originally a pet name for a cow?
 ml> interesting :)

 DD> Moggy(ie/ies) is an English term for a mixed breed cat. (noun). An
 DD> example of a moggy is a cat that is not a purebred. I dunno how you

typo alert... my fat fingers kept hitting the 'd' instead of the 'g' in here
but they were just fine with uncle google... go figure! :?

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Moggie has this to say...

   
moggy ['m?g?]
n pl moggies
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Animals) Brit a slang name for cat [1]
Sometimes shortened to mog
[of dialect origin, originally a pet name for a cow]

 DD> When she died she became the sole pet for which I put up a
 DD> headstone.

 ml> i can understand that... the headstones we put up for our pets become
 ml> trees after a few years...

 DD> Never seen polished pink granite become a tree. Ever. 

ours are made of wood... generally small twig looking things ;)
  
 ml> BTW: did you get my netmail?

 DD> Yepper - and I thimk I answered it if I pushed all the right
 DD> buttons, etc. E-mail is more reliable (dirty underscore dave at
 DD> chillicooks dot org) Note that chilli is spelled correctly with two
 DD> "L"s.

yep yep yep... i got the reply... i wasn't sure if you got mine because there
are (still) some systems that don't give users access to netmail (or bounce it
back to the sender)... so i wasn't sure in your case and just wanted to make
sure ;)
