- Of course I look more handsome in my natural coat, but it is not stamped
- with an emblem of the list. If I can't have a shirt, I'll have to see
- about having WORDS-L shaved into my natural fur. That idea is not appealing
- since either the shaving would have to be repeated from time to time or I
- would have to undergo permanent fur-removal in that shape, thereby making
- it difficult if I ever wanted to spy on another list without revealing my
- affiliation. I might, for example, want to let the fur grow back to its
- normal state before going to a ProjectH convention.

- P.S. You *do* sound specist, btw. I think Natalie looks better without
- clothes on. Yet nobody has raised the question of why the human members
- of the list need shirts.
