Well, Dave, I've decided to turn over a new leaf. I will now immediately
begin being the "kinder and gentler" Q. The one with more arguments than
insults. The "new and improved" Q. That will be me, yessiree. And I'll
start right now since I know that the members of soc.men really don't wish
me to go away since only 10 of them sent me "go away" mail. Two of these
were forgeries from Pitt. So, what can I say. The overwhelming lack of
hostility in my direction, save from that bastion of intellectual prowess
known as Pittsburgh, shows me that I am still wanted. I am deeply touched.

And, as always, thank you for your support.

Well, the first thing I have to tell you, Douggie old chap
is that that was no young lady, that was your sysadmin
Mike with the butt like a steel trap. And the only thing
he didn't want to do was clean up the chocolate sauce after
you'd finished. If I were you, I'd check to make sure that
your wallet was in your pocket.

Helpfully yours,
Q
