I doubt that you can calm me down when I am freshly awaken, even with all your
admirable skills.
I need my beauty sleep and sleep deprivation makes me grumpy. When I come to
think of that, many other things make me grumpy. Your name, however, wasn't
mentioned in a bad context. You have
always been honest and gave honest answers. As a matter of fact, you are one of
the people that
I'd really like to meet.

Well, this list is good for venting out frustrations. If I ever wrote a piece
like that on
Metalink, using my companies CSI, I'd be fired immediately. Here, it's a free
for all:
my own email, from the comfort of my favorite armchair and my very own charming
personality,
without the corporate veneer.

Pete, get better soon! I feel guilty for bantering with an injured person. I'd
wish you to
break your leg, but I'm afraid that this traditional American phrase might be
misunderstood
under the circumstances.
