- For a brief moment, I thought CYNOVY might have had something
- here, but then I forgot what it was. Perhaps it would have
- been clearer in Latin. However, I should point out, in
- preparation for my next message (which I also didn't write),
- that Pat has been very lax in sending out his poppy seed
- FAQ which he once did every month and now hasn't done in
- the time it takes one to come up with a New Idea and to
- explain its relevance to FNORD. But, then, as I'll soon
- ask, how can I make such blanket statements?
