Come on, Sorcha.

Do not doubt my concern and saddness surrounding this incident. What would I be trolling to get?.

Those few words that I wrote will sum up the situation after this one scared Russian sailor gets stretchered into hospital.

What's going to happen then?
Ted Turner is only one of many names that will be looking for his little signature on a large piece of paper.
Said Russian sailor will then become a commodity, and the real Hunt For Red October will be made.

I don't doubt at all that this man (if he does indeed exist), will never be the same man again. But at least he will be able to afford the best of psychiatric help. It will be his ticket out of the Navy, and the chance for a well-deserved new life.

It's not me being cruel, Sorcha. It's just the way things go, because the vultures have to have their share.
Sarcasm and irony is hard to convey in the written word, without loads of :)s, ;)s, and :-0)s, and stuff.
And I don't normally get into that kind of thing. *BG*

Ooops ;)
