- How recursive! I notice that you deleted Doug's remarks. Aren't you

- I would've thought that most of those articles would have expired
- before the dam burst.

- Yes, indeed, Petey, I'm very grateful to Muriel for taking it upon herself
- to stand up for me in my hour(s) of silence, as well as her many other
- kindnesses.

-
- Are you sure about that? Perhaps you should have Matheson confirm your
- claim before presenting it in public. You wouldn't want to be accused
- "going off half-cocked" now, would you?

- Believe it or not, Peter, I'm willing to call a short truce and ask about
- your nephew. Is all that surgery behind him? What's his prognosis? I
- hope it's good.
