Dear Kat, What's with this 'virtual pat on the head'? Why are you & Ebbie & Jeri having so much difficulty coming to terms with the fact that the way you view things over there are not always identical to the way we do over here [or, to accommodate artbrooks' last query, some of the older among us do]; and then, when this is pointed out to you, falling back [as you are doing here] with accusations that you are being patronised? Nobody is trying to patronise you; there are no 'virtual pats on the head' involved: we are just trying to point out that yours is not the only world-view in existence. But, oh dear me, that won't do! 'What a bunch of fucking crap,' you exclaim [if anyone doesn't believe me, just scroll up two to Kat's last post'.

So who, pray, is patronising whom? Who is virtually patting whom on the head. What a bunch of fucking crap right back 2U, Kat.

HNY just the same - Michael
