Well that does it, Kestas.  Now we really must meet.  I have no idea  
why you would want to paint me as some sort of hallucinatory 
picaroon when in fact I have actually forwarded you one of my emails 
from wyc@xxxxxxxxxxxx

< It seems your relationship to the alleged source has evolved (again!). 
Before it was someone's someone's someone's someone baby-, dog-, or 
house-sitting for one of the owners, then a relative who's a 
sportswriter at one of the major dailies, now it seems the source of all 
this information is...you. QED. >

Your memory is astounding. I vagely recall writing something like a friend 
of mine whose employer's neighbor lives next door to the cousin of the girl 
whose best friend babysits for the babysitter of etc. told me that etc. 
etc.....   
Yes, Kestas, another attempt at humor that apparently never made it up 
to Hanover.  I'd search back through the archives for it but could there be 
any more punishing experience than having to read through dozens of one's 
own posts?  And yes, I do have a relative who is sportswriter.  It makes 
sense; who else would hire me?
