- Naw, I'd rather settle outta court, if you don't mind. Lookie,

- I fuck up every now and again. Capische?

- Don't do that unless you get a written contract that you'll

- You assume I took your post as a flame. And thanks for the
- smiley lesson, but I generally find the little critters to be a waste of
- time, myself -- so I don't use them. Enough people know my style to
- know when I'm joshing, manipulating the net, or yanking chains that I've
- outgrown them.
-
- And thanks, aussi, for the hints. But I don't take life so
- seriously as most of you think. It's all an evil ploy ...

- Remember, I do not exist...
