I know. But really!" referring to presumably his own comments, everyone would figure out that he was the correspondent.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, someone last night asked if you were my source in Seattle. Oh the intrigue!<BR/><BR/>Actually you put the "gine" in imagine.Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17999907.post-1137700089967661422006-01-19T14:48:00.000-05:002006-01-19T14:48:00.000-05:00No shade on your vocab intended.No shade on your vocab intended.Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17999907.post-1137698176813669242006-01-19T14:16:00.000-05:002006-01-19T14:16:00.000-05:00I'm aware of the distinction between the two terms...I'm aware of the distinction between the two terms, and frightful or not, my statement stands as written.<BR/><BR/>ACDA.C.

And maybe it's Ortrud. And maybe it's Rosalinda but I'd be surprised, to say the least, as inherently as one may trust the account of Intrepid Correspondent. <BR/><BR/>p.s. to I.C.: no, I saw a link to it but didn't read it until you mentioned it.
