[sado-masochists don't count!!!] as to your being 'just the conduit' to your friend and our pd-cyber-sibling bob i can't think of a more valuable and generous thing anyone could do lurkers unite! with love janet janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset 613 256 8340 po box 171 almonte ontario canada K0A 1A0 a new voice: <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/> <[log in to unmask]>
