----------------- Message requiring your approval (20 lines) ------------------ Dear Don and List... Now I know the true meaning of the term "brainstorm." With reference to the gum-logged Aunt Maud, the seafood aroma of the golden paste would seen to indicate that John Shade's abusive aunt was suffering from a Gardnerella infection. Maybe at this point it would be appropriate to recall how "Old McNab" used to delight in setting traps for the over- sophisticated -- be they chess problem aficionados ot literary ferrets. Wherever VN and Vera are currently chasing butterflies, be it in Ardis or Zembla, I bet they're having a hilarious time, tuning in to the recent postings. I can just imagine his smile... Tom Rymour
