Please can we stop this (or refer to the nasty little beggars by some
euphemism)?  I am fully aware of how wimpy this sounds, but I have only one
phobia - it is about cockroaches.  Even seeing the word in print can send
shivers up and down my spine!  Still, at least I know to tell my Lady not to
use egg tempera where those creatures might find it!
