	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Is this the "Pete in a dress" photo that was on
Pete's site recently??  If someone can scan it onto this list, I'm sure
those who still can't access Pete's site would love to see it.  Nice legs
Pete!!

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Ah, I'm with you now.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Good speculation IMO.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  I've been trying to fit this last line into any
and all the previous theories as well.  It's been quite painful....mentally.
I find myself having a dirty mind too.  :)   Never thought about the John
and Yoko idea though.

	[O'Neal, Kevin W.]  Yeah, I guess you're right.  E-mail can be such
a difficult medium.  One wrong word, or punctuation mark, and all hell can
break loose.  I find that stresses at work and everyday life can slip into
things written (by all) and also effect the way things written are
perceived/taken.  Just hit me wrong that Matt would say that in front of
(now read over 100x) all Who fans.
	I (obviously) love the Who and Pete, and hate to think that such a
thing could possibly get back to Pete or influence other Who fans out there.
*sigh.     I'M A PACIFIST........REALLY!

	Peace,
