OK, so you're not mad.  But you're slicing up Scott pretty good - and I think
you're cute when you're slicing someone up.  Of course, I can't see you, I can
only see your posts.  So when I say "You're cute," I actually mean that your
posts are cute.  Well, entertaining, really, but "You're sooooo entertaining
when you're mad," ust doesn't have the history behind it as a phrase, know
what I mean, Andeleh?

I have a fine grasp of reality - Of course, you've probably figured
out by now that I consider reality to be a subjective matter.  And I'm
quite capable of distinguishing between the reality that's being bantered
around a.p. and the one that I live in - I know, Matt thinks they're one
and the same, but we've gone all through that already.  No need to be embar-
assed for me, sweetheart.  From what I can gather about you, you need all your
embarassment for yourself.

Andy, honey, you've got to stop pigeon holing people.  I'm certainly a lot
more than just "a student at Umass."  There are many facets to me, which I
won't bother going into here because I can't imagine it would be of any 
interest to anyone.  But, "student at Umass" or "proprietoress of Peeve..."
are just labels.  And I choolse to use that label for my own entertainment.
You have your own role to play here in Peev^H^H^H on the electronic system
that I access through the news reader at U Mass. And you slip past the 
boundaries of "accepted reality" in that role, yourself, by using information
which you do not have.  You insult people's love life's and family etc.
Things of which you can have no direct knowledge.  Yet this is all standard
for this group.  I don't see why slapping a label like "Peevetown" on it 
bothers you so much.  Not that I mind, because after all, you are absolutely
adorable when you're mad, and I wish I was in California right now, to pinch
your pudgy little cheek, you adorable thing, you.

Maybe I'm a little slow, but I think I missed a connection here.  How does
saying I'm a "proprietoress" indicate a lack of literacy on my part.  A lack
of respect for what you consider to be the boundaries of reality, maybe. But
a lack of literacy?  Please explain.

Yours from the point where reality and imagination meet,

Jenny
