assistant: Any reply which encompasses more than 200 lines must be steamy.
Not to mention Steamy Stewy has a nice ring to it.
    Hey, it worked for Superman didn't it?
    ROTFL!
    It is a balance.  I try to preserve only as much of the original
message that someone reading the reply would understand it.
    Now how would I know?
    Have Stabbing Westward's "Shame" playing:
"I only see myself reflected in your eyes
 So all that I believe I am essentially are lies..."
    A song of love lost psychotic in its intensity!  Ah!
    New girlfriend, lots of mail, and new music. <VBG>
    Soap Operas have to have good mood setting background music.  I'd
guess The Dwellers "Rocket Ride" would be a good one for mine.
    Huh?
    Ents are the trees in _LotR_.  I watched the tape I have of _The
Hobbit_, the score is pretty decent.  Credits are lacking and nothing is
listed in the MUSE database...  Sigh.
    They're called Walkman and Discman!  <running for cover>
    Would I do such a thing?  :)
    Oh?
