Sorry, in my particular part of the modern world, personal relationship and
loyalty to friends counts for something. Besides, I did say I had read them, I
just got bored with the repetitive structure and punmanship. If you're looking
for a community of wordplay, try news biz some time. Whew!

Well, I admire several of these worthies as well of course, but if they
personally insulted one of my friends, I might think differently. If someone
goes around badmouthing YOU, I'd leap to your defense too. It's just the way I
am. The name may say Fox but the attitude can be more like mother-lioness.
