Hi all,

Oops, could imparting the Kahuna's tendency to be a skellum (A. skelm)
not be construed as character assassination?

A blessed Easter to you all,

Elsie Zinsser

> Anyway, it's on the list of fragrant names
>(http://www.lowlands-l.net/treasures/kahuna.htm).  Similarities between
>_Ho'omina_ ('to cause to smile') and your surname are coincidental, or so
>the Kahuna claims.  (He's a bit of a skellum at times.)

Enjoy!

Haai, Elsie!

Oh, not really, at least not as far as he is concerned.  He knows it's meant 
in the best possible way, as in "benevolent prankster."  Besides, his ego is 
anything but fragil, and he's not the least bit concerned about image.

And happy Easter to you!
Reinhard/Ron
