dear Laughing One Jelly Bean please do not be hurt that Ravi has totally forgotten the plot line of your Garden of Eden saga in which Xeno was NOT the one with whom I was cavorting in the bushes. Obviously the San Diego sun and southern CA ambiance has addled his brain, which he, meaning Ravi of course, doesn't even like us to talk about! His brain I mean. Neuroscience and all that bullocks. Anyway, more evidence of this addling is his being stuck in the past with talk of psychological rape and inauthenticity. Dear LOJB, isn't that just so so LAST year?! And all the effing this and effing that. One is sorely tempted to urge Nephew to get some new material for gosh sakes! It's a new year. Even in Western astrology. Even in the Chinese system. It's a new season. It's almost a new month. Get with the new program, Newphew! Sorry couldn't resist that lame pun smiley faces all around.

Thank you Guru Xeno - this is what I like about you. You are at least honest - and admit you are a cold-hearted, emotionless, distant, dead man basically, of dead beliefs, of inane platitudes - having sexual orgies in your mind with words, even your hard-ons while you are having sex with words might be just a word in your mind called "hard-on". It really reflects in your writing - everytime I read you it's astonishing, it's as if you are a zombie. And then equally hilarious is when I see someone like Share react to you - it's as if she actually had sex with you and you made her come. I'm always tempted to ask you and Share to take your orgies offline. Hail to Guru Zombie Xeno !!!

However the sample of Robin's was huge, and the compression was to about 5% which is really far too much. Normally you get reasonable results with 25% to 50% compression. Some manual editing might be needed.
