We here at IMNOTRIGHT (International Institute for Acronyms Not
Necessarily Relevant to Their Organizations) are well aware of the
need for up-to-the-millisecond updates on the information services
available.  Now, as part of our "Preview" feature, we will sneak a 
glimpse at the new FidoNet Echoes.  Here are this month's entries:

Yes, yes, I know all this.  But what about the pizza?  Green

The womyn will now certainly fall into the hands of the male-

Lyle is HEREBY DISQUALIFIED.  The answer was "Three O'Clock High." 
This makes 10,356 games disqualified now, folks.  Can't anyone get
