Well, I warmeth the list a bit, but you have never seen me flame, doll.:-)
You don't want to either; it's like being inside a blast furnace, and at that
it's better than being taken to task by my kid sister.  She's the Wicked
*itch of the East Coast to my merely nasty *itch of the Freenet.:-)

Not really.:-)  I'm far too much of a live-and-let-live type to handle the
fire and brimstone some southern preachers require.  Besides, I have no
training as a preacher, and my reputation as you say, would precede me.

have been accused of being a lady on occasion...

What about New Orleans?  The Irish Channel?   Sounds a lot like Brooklyn to
me!  And in any case, New York CIty is it's own little colony; no one else
wants it!
