I objected to "Niko" from those who tried to start a rational 
argument; you produced nothing of the sort. You may call me all
the names you like, Marek, and shall be paid a hundredfold. 
On the other hand, selective editing to your own advantage
is a more plausible example of hypocrisy.

Yes, this is what I meant when I suggested you might be tormented
by race memory, along with that thing you have about Russian names.
As to flunked exams, see below.

My living part does not respond to such figments of a moribund
dormouse's imagination as you, Marek.

The price I pay for not being your favourite girl is certainly
very reasonable. Thank you for sparing me you talent-free
versificatory effusions.

Now, speaking of flunked exams -- people who don't know what
commas are for don't get into Harvard. I appreciate your 
informed tip about the joys of Somerville, but I'll eschew
that, as well as your own soliciting.
