	Your reasoning is so clear, confident and compelling, I'm tempted to  
take it at face value, but..........
	I'm also tempted to post this to the CSLive blog, because if true,  
it's certainly news, but........
	In any event,  I would never want to embarrass the young man in that  
way, in spite of having  recently joined the ranks of those; sharply  
fanged journalists, with expectant drool dripping down my chin.
	"See fairy godmother, I do have a conscience."
