Dear Grandpa Fogey,

I was OK with my basically benign post on this thread until Brother Fielding brought up "Omphaloscopy." At that point I began having some concern. When you brought up the possibility of contagion, I began to worry excessively. Even worse, I began to fear that treatment might somehow involve an asssortment of of probes and hoses and lying butts-out on an uncomfortable table, much like a lower G.I. Having experienced two of those on the same day, I would like to withdraw my initial post. Thank you for bringing these facts to my attention.
