I don't know what you mean by "opaque" enthusiasm". What I have is a 
whole-hearted, obvious, guaranteed transparent love of the stuff. Put on your

[emptybill]

Sorry for your opaque enthusiasm for Sachertorte.

Perhaps your time would be better spent preparing the ultimate dessert:
the pastry named after the patron saint of bakers - Saint Honoratis
cream cake.

> a strange fascination with a serial killer

So, it's all about Judy. What you've posted here
is close to libel, if not an outright smear. You
can do a lot better than this - you're supposed to
be a writer, telling the truth, Barry. It looks
like you've gone off the deep end this time.

Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy.

http://www.albion.com/netiquette/rule8.html 

So, let's review the rules:

1. Don't use a respondent's name as the subject.
2. Don't post anyone's private email.
3. Don't reveal an anonymous poster's real name.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Judy Stein as "prison groupie"

[doctordumbass]

You sound jealous and bitter, Barry, at having lost Judy, to Robin, in your 
head. Its OK, she will continue to pay attention to you, virtually forever. 

Yes, it is true, you and Judy were an item, and ROBIN was *the other man*, but 
now the roles are reversed, and you are left on the outside, looking in. Story 
of your life, huh? 

Take heart, Barry, Judy will be back soon enough, to tend to you, personally. 
Mark my words, you will again be, The Center Of Attention.:-)
