Apparently Bob learned nothing from Robin, not even how to form a break
between paragraphs. Get back to us Bob, after you take a few computer
lessons at a community college. Thanks for the post, but I don't have
time to reformat for easier reading. Go figure.

Now that Richard has admitted he does not have a wife named Rita;
*let's review what we know* about Barry and Richard, and what they
have in common - to determine if their new found passion for each
other has the legs needed to go the distance: first, they both believe
their PCs' are desirable substitutes for companions with heartbeats -
your basic blow up doll with a microprocessor; second, they both
believe vanity publishing is a viable business model - although one
could be forgiven for thinking Barry might be hiding from Richard some
disappointing page visitor stats - new lovers do that sort of thing;
third, both appear to have a keen desire to be taken seriously as
writers, teachers, and intellectuals and seem to believe that HUFFPUFF
and WIKIPEDIA foot notes have replaced libraries - if they adopt
(Richard appears to be beyond child bearing years) would they name the
child HUFFPEDIA or WIKIPUFF; fourth, they both believe there is a huge
market of lurkers waiting in the FFL wings for more of their
prodigious output; fifth, both are military brats from Texas that
believe Share is not a brat - its rumored Share is planning to rename
herself with the FFL handle: Barry's and Richard's wind-up toy (don't
call her a blow up doll, she obviously has no microprocessor); sixth,
they're both obsessed with Judy and appear hooked on the regular
humiliation she subjects them to - as if playing so far out of above
their pay grade compensates for the exchanges making them look *almost
intelligent* (not to be confused with "almost famous*, which they
seemed to have nailed); seventh, they both appear to be obsessed by
all things Robin - a neutral observer might wonder if they're not
envious of Ann because they missed the chance to join the WTS ( I'm
impressed that Richard claims he recently read everything Robin ever
wrote; I just hope Barry doesn't, in a moment of cruelty - when he's
had a few - tell Richard about Robin's wish that his WTS era writings
meet with a bonfire); eighth, they both appear to have gotten the
wrong mantra and have limited knowledge of Eastern thought (and
macros); finally, they both appear lonesome - which is how they met
over the internet - Barry in a cafe, Richard in a laundry room: with
so many Shared interests how could anyone doubt that nuptials for
these two are meant to be, and just around the corner; I think in
their declining years these two have what it takes to make a union
that will inspire the poets: of course, there will be a few bumps on
the road; for example, how will Richard cope the first time Barry
heads out for a cafe rap - just as Richard has prepared a 6 course
gourmet meal (Richard will no doubt be captivating enough for Barry,
but habits die hard), I imagine Richard coming off the rails and Barry
digging in his heels and refusing to say when he'll be back. We can
also only pray that Richard will get to safety when Barry starts
practicing his martial arts in front of his old laptop when Judy posts
a particularly devastating post. And, I know what you're thinking:
"who will do the laundry'; frankly, in love much remains a mystery,
but I think with our well wishes these two have a shot; lets take the
high road, because, once he has a spouse we won't be hearing as much
from RR. And with our best wishes, here are some moves for Mr. Wright
(being so conservative, we'll assume that Richard will be taking
Barry's last name; I know he would not like to be referred to as the
"wind-up toy") to practice while he's doing the laundry, and keeping
supper warm:
