Hey, John,

Do you think they would let us do a Get2chip RTL Compiler flow paper?  :)

Ha!  Well Andy has lofty goals, doesn't he?  :)

He hasn't asked me for any help yet, so I hope things are going well.  I'm
submitting two papers (yes, I'm crazy!) that he hasn't received yet.  It'll
be fun to present again!

And if it was even *half* as good as South Park...

John,

Tell Andy he just lost ALL credibility with South Park fans.  It's supposed
to be "Bigger, LONGER, and uncut", NOT "bigger, BETTER, and uncut!"

Hi, John,

Tell Dave thanks for the mail.  Yes I was aware, but I would take Better
over Longer any day.....

Hi, John,

Instead of a SNUG CFP, this sounds more like a debate on circumcision.

Hi, John,

I wasn't going to request this of you, but when I saw Andy's SNUG message go
out, I just couldn't restrain myself.  I am the conference chairman for the
upcoming 2007 Mentor Graphics User2User MUG conference, and I would love it
if you could send out a CFP for me as well.

         CFP Deadline: Monday, November 13th
         Learn about the conference and submit your abstract at
         http://www.mentor.com/user2user

There, I feel better now...  My shamelessness has its limits though, so I
won't say a word about how User2User is the best user technical conference
available today, offering an enormous opportunity for knowledge sharing
amongst industry peers as well as Mentor management and engineering, free
workshops on Mentor tools, and much more.

Nope... I won't do that...
