What a week on FFL – Robin, your posts as always sing a dynamic tune of coherent
reality. I have read each one enjoyably, happily traveling along to wherever
they lead, knowing that I will never be led astray logically. Thanks!

Dear futur.musik,

"always sing a dynamic tune of coherent reality"—May I have your permission to 
have that carved on my gravestone?

I will change it (subject to your approval) to:

"He sang a dynamic tune of coherent reality".

And I will presumably be beyond the reach of those who will be offended, even 
outraged at my egotism.

But they can look it up here at FFL: It was said *about* me; I did not say it.

And yeah, I feel there is an almost metaphysic behind logic used in the service 
of truth, logic to bring us closer to the real.

Anyhow, futur.musik [what's it like to get used to a new name?], you can 
imagine how delighted I was to receive a compliment like this one.

The verdict on me is not unanimous around here, as you are aware.

But if I come to realize that Barry was as prescient as Curtis has announced he 
was about recent posters (in saying this, Curtis was thinking of someone very 
close to being me) I will ignore what you have said here, and I will insist 
that on my gravestone be inscribed the following words (cut deeply into the 
stone):

"DRAMA QUEEN, MANIAC, ATTENTION VAMPIRE, MENTALLY ILL, ABUSER

Weep for him who was late in coming to know this truth."

And don't worry: I always read my bad reviews as well as ones like this one.

Thanks, futur.musik. Felicitous words. And, if I be permitted a flirtation with 
something that might seem something very like vanity: 

What you say about me here is exactly what I am always after.
