Have to agree with this Francis, Slip often slashing away with the particularly welcome sword of vengeance you note though. It's not length that ever bothers me, or even the dung - one spots most of this as such as easily as a plagiarised essay from a foreign student who has forgotten to take out such headings as 'chapter 14' from the text or left the price tag from essaysRus in place and suspiciously doesn't speak English. The thought of you on the white charger is quite enough to make the Pupster bearable! It may be, of course, that the mods already flush far more away than we suppose and are thus more highly allergic than we.
