> Robin, what on earth are you going on about?
Oh dear, Jeffrey, I *am sorry -- I hadn't realised your scrut deficiency was
so severe. Have you consulted a specialist about this? I'm told there are
quite effective treatments nowadays, and really quite discreet. No one need
ever know. Other than everyone on the various lists to which you send
multiple posts, that is.
As it is, my thoughts are with you in what must be a difficult period of
your life. I'm sure you will feel *much better when the specialists have
had their way with you. And who knows, you may even be awarded a prize of
the complete set of Janet and John Readers when you graduate.
