- Calm down, Dolphie... You are getting *too* predictable. It seems
- I can provoke you even easier than hairless twinks can provoke that
- GDM fellow. I am not seriously trying to suggest that "sexually
- frustrated old men" are responsible for turning fashion models into
- 13 year-old boys. In an earlier age - perhaps a couple of months
- ago - I would relish the opportunity to carry on with you (or rather,
- against you) over this; but, sadly, I find myself almost beginning
- to like the extent of you fashion queen-li-ness.

- Besides, the New Year is upon us, and perhaps it is time for a
- kinder, gentler _Splat Ex Splaticus_.

- (DLM, Season, and Emily must take most of the blame for making
- me actually *enjoy* soc.motss a little more; and, of course,
- there is the dramatic reduction of Andersonian babbage, which
- could otherwise sour even the refreshingly delightful emergence
- of the aforementioned DLM (who gave me a line that was worthy
- of a pretentious Jewish queen: I don't hate men... I have a
- son who I hope will be one someday). I do hope both DLM and
- Season increase the frequency of their posts. <nudge> <nudge>
