Robert M., that's the danger of posting some obscure reference to in a contextual...uh...vacuum.

Congratulations, Andrew.  I'm sure you will do a great job. 
Here is my pic.....Now I suppose you want me to write an article, too?
Best wishes,

kat


p.s.  the vacuum cleaner joke was one of the suckiest things I've ever heard, but I guess vacuums tend to suck anyway.

Lindsay,

I don't know this Andrew fellow, is he reliable?  More important, is he attractive and pleasing and a tonic for the senses?  I wonder if he's as good as Marcus at identifying honeypots in images of nature (see General Forum thread Is Paganism Compatible with Objectivism? . . . http://solohq.com/Forum/GeneralForum/0523.shtml)

If so, then I'm a fan!  ;)

Julia

P.S. Found this of Linz . . .

Congratulations, Andrew, and excellent choice, Lindsay. All you SOLOists, you'll be jealous to know that I am one of the few here, and maybe the only, to have had a beer with the new editor. Andrew and I live in the same beautiful (albeit lefty) town, Missoula MT. Andrew is quite the writer, and a thorn in the side to the hordes of libs at the University of Montana. He pees on their f----ing rug, the one the really ties the room together. Go Andrew!

Andrew, this is great news for Linz and great new for Solo. To you, I offer you my heartfelt condolences. Now, what can I say about my articles that might lighten your burden somewhat in the coming days, months and years? Ah, yes!
If an article I have submitted is in English and makes sense, Barbara edited it. If not, send it back to me and ask me to beg Barbara to edit it.

Verily I say unto you, "forget the vacuum cleaner references. Henceforth, the Bissell name means freedom and justice to all!"

Let me add my congratulations to a great Linz choice. Andrew is not only wonderfully intelligent but he plays a mean trombone. May I heartily recommend to all SOLOists THE ART OF THE DUO, with Roger on Trombone. When I first heard his rendition of EARLY AUTUMN I simply lost it. He is great.
SOLOHQ is definitely the winner in this pick.

Fred - if the above post is as confused as I think it is, it explains a lot!

Julia - you asked:

I don't know this Andrew fellow, is he reliable?

Well, his application to be editor came in the form of a reply to a SOLO-Mail I'd sent him nearly a year ago. I made it a condition of his appointment that he demonstrate he could reply to an e-mail within 24 hours. He managed that, but you have to be worried. Plus, he didn't make it to SOLOC 4, though that could have been through legitimate fear of being ravaged by rampaging naked pagan women. My real concern is that he keeps changing his street address - a sure sign that he's on the run. From whom and/or what, one must ask oneself!


More important, is he attractive and pleasing and a tonic for the senses?

Down girl! I saw him first!

I wonder if he's as good as Marcus at identifying honeypots in images of nature

Well I've never heard it called that before!

AFAIAC, Andrew displayed all the right credentials for the job right here, a post which still ranks as one of my all-time SOL favourites (and Nicole's I reckon :-)

Heh, kat, I thought that woman's face looked a bit too much like a catcher's mitt to be your fine visage. I was vacillating between a post about how I said it only works "for SOLO's beautiful women," or a post to the effect that, "I've bumped all kat's articles up in the queue and will have Joe post them this evening (because I will be, uh, busy)." I'm glad the Colonel preempted me.

Fred, although I appreciate the compliment to my trombone skills, given that I have never held that instrument in my life, I think you may have me confused with someone else. May I recommend reading this post.

Does this count?
Well, his application to be editor came in the form of a reply to a SOLO-Mail I'd sent him nearly a year ago.
A month, a year, who's counting?  : p
Plus, he didn't make it to SOLOC 4, though that could have been through legitimate fear of being ravaged by rampaging naked pagan women.
Actually, they were rampaging fully-clothed thesis advisors.
My real concern is that he keeps changing his street address - a sure sign that he's on the run. From whom and/or what, one must ask oneself!
What do they call the IRS in New Zealand?

Thieving arseholes. At least they do in my front room. :-)

When I was Libz leader we called the IRD "DOLT"—Department of Legalised Theft. Not sure if that's still the custom. :-)
