["L. Parker" <lparker@cacaphony.net>]

I am planning on writing this page as if it were a paper presented to a 
conference by a member of the staff at LIT (me of course). Would it be 
better to present it in 1997 or should I present it in 2046 and use an 
introduction format to summarize 1997 to 2046?

Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men;

William Allingham, Ireland, 1850
