how incompossible! really tom, you're getting more prolix and oblique every
day to say nothing of your sly and greasy pseudo-reply to a man who will now
look like he's not coming to the soiree. why is it that 63 of supersaul's
dazzling and wasted questions can't solicit a peep out of you and yet the
moment he tells us he is off again you post a boxed set of (as yet)
unpublished monographs? we live in the hope that you might accomplish
change, if not in your life, at least in your sneaky scaly strategies... but
who will foot the bill? pat?
