>>>>>[ Oh yes, of course, Smiley. You're right. We are still squatting in caves and bashing at each other with sticks - literally. We don't have a lifespan beyond 40 years, or can be cured of infections. Sorry, I must be living in some kind of delusion.
Oh, wait.
Don't imagine for a single shake of a lamb's tail that that outlook of yours has a single redeeming value. I expect you have no belief in heaven or hell, but having known and interviewed plenty of people with your psychology, I know that you don't need to. You're already living in what you think of is hell.
As a note to your apprentice - Autumn, if you've any wisdom at all, you'll leave. With, by preference, his head in a plastic bag and the body not, but that's up to you. There are other people, as good at what he does or better, who can train you - if that is really what you want to do with your life.
Shadowrider, I know it. Hard to get to for me just now, though; it's a long way for drinks with a stranger. Drop me a private line if you're that curious.
And you didn't tell me that information, Rakhi. She says she has no issue with the information being published, but would care to talk about ... timing. And other details, which are beyond me. She offers information for information -- which, all sources considered, I'd suggest you take her up on. The DF isn't likely to supply that sort of thing any more, unless Walter's gotten a lot more loquacious than I remember him being.
Well, okay, that's a fib. He was always talkative-pompous, he just didn't actually tell you much. You've met him; do you think Wordsmith would give you a leg up?
In any case, she'd still like a meeting, present her request and offer, that kind of thing. Madrecita, you too. ]<<<<<
