- }Sure. Look at the restoration of what you deleted, and ask yourself:
- }1. How bad is my reading comprehension?
- }2. How bad are my reasoning abilities?
- }3. Why did I think Nyikos would not be able to figure out that I had

- Darn. I've read and reread this a bunch of times, and I can't figure
- out how the "restoration" changes anything. I've been told that my
- reading comprehension isn't too bad, neither do I think my reasoning
- abilities are below average, although I'll grant there are many people
- who might take great issue with that. What I can't fathom is not why
- Patrick might have (or have not) thought that Dr. PHoney Giggles wouldn't
- notice, but rather why he did, and why he would make such an issue of it.
- Is this making much sense to anyone? And if so, would they please
- explain it to me?
