[NetBehaviour] Please help me with Wikipedia!!

[Pall Thayer]

Thanks folks. I've decided to curb my career as an artist and will, from
now on, focus on my career as an unwanted, mediocre bass player. If I get
really good, I'll add a couple of strings and become an unwanted, mediocre
guitar player.

Best r.
Pall Thayer
