Rowana, thou art not a witless pratt; believe me, if these weren't good folk, I'd've recognized it and disappeared early: I am socially paranoid. Guest has some real "issues" to work through; most of them seem to be adolescent emotional ones, if you isolate and read his/her postings throughout some of these recent flame threads (like the one we all hope will die). Guest's postings in that one read like a teen-age crush reaction. I hope he/she finds some help, or manages to get a grip somehow.

Meanwhile, like Old Faithful, carry on, Spaw. The Mudcat Masses are counting on you to keep it light here.
