From: Cross David - dcross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] It's what Chris uses to sign off his more erudite postings at the Cookwood board - either that or the even more scarey 'PISHA'! That much I'd figured out - perhaps I'm being too deep and meaningful in assuming that 'CHOPS' has some greater meaning. That said, 'CHOPS' and 'PISHA' have all sorts of possibilities for acronymic re-interpretation, e.g.: Chris HOping Puberty Starts Perl Is Shit Hot, Aie. I look forward to seeing what else can be contrived by the fetid imaginations of London PM (collectively and individually). I hope 'Chris' will appreciate our efforts :-) Andrew.
