If you haven’t been reading Schlock lately, my avatar “Danita” is in mortal  
peril. I’ve been a recurring character since March, but the past couple of  
weeks, have been fun! [www.schlockmercenary.com](http://www.schlockmercenary.com)

For those of you who don’t know about Schlock Mercenary, Howard Taylor, the  
creator of Schlock was a long-time WordPerfect/Novell employee, and GroupWise  
Product Manager before he decided to devote full time to the Schlock web comic!

I just have a hard time believing we get to associate with one as  
famous as you. I certainly haven’t seen a comic about me!

You need to get to know artistic folks I guess! I’m surprised my character is  
still around. Howard had intended to kill he off a long time ago, but I just  
got “lucky” I guess and the story evolved a bit.

I’ve been the brunt of a lot of jokes… Does that count?

You know Steve, it’s been years since we’ve seen each other, and I  
still can hear your voice and your laugh when I read your posts. 🙂

It has been too long. So long, in fact, that I could take your post as  
my having an unforgettable voice and laugh like Phyllis Diller. 🙂

However, knowing the great guy you are, I truly appreciate the comment  
as I have similar memories and am grateful we had the opportunity to get  
to know each other and laugh together.

You have always been a great host and representative for both Brainshare  
and SLC.

Steve

I’ve just had my face melted off! Maybe it’s not such an honor after all - LOL.
