Woo-hoo! Haloscan worked!

On to my next message:

From Spanky/Sparky: "Its (sic) Spanky, not Sparky. And why do you assume I am a he?"

Sarah's response: Spanky, I am sorry I called you Sparky... But, really, your name is not actually Spanky either!! How do I know you are a a he? Well, it is hard to say exactly... How does one know it is going to rain? How does one know when someone doesn't her? (Oops, bad example... I haven't mastered that skill...) Anyway, sometimes, you just can tell stuff... But, if you provide me with some hints, I can revise my assessment...
