Dearest Friends in Affection,
The title, of course, includes me. I found this some time ago and was
so tickled by it I thought I might repost it.
By the way, it has absolutely nothing to do with the purported purpose
or actual purposes of this particular news group, so it is a flagrant
violation of the FAQ.
For a copy of the FAQ, please see Naughty Boy, who is in attendance
here at the Galleries daily.
Thank you very much.
