ok, so let me see if i'm getting this straight...

i can either say that i am:
a) a troll, or
b) paranoid, or
c) indulging in self-indulgent inbox clutter, or
d) (presumably) all of the above.

oh gee, jon, that's such a rich range of choices,
i'm torn badly, and simply _cannot_ decide, so
why don't you just pick and surprise me, all right?

thanks so much!  and you have a nice day too, ok?       :+)

in the meantime, we have reached agreement, that
linda's proposal is logical, trenchant, and might yet
prove effective.  i know i'm certainly rooting for her.
heck, i'm treating her idea as if it was my very own...
