Assuming you haven't sent it off, here are a couple of my famous nit-picks ...On Tue, 30 Sep 2003 17:40:45 -0400 Michael Scottaline <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uttered:

-- "I can say: 'Thank these bees for their honey as though they were kind people who have prepared it for you'; that is intelligible and describes how I should like you to conduct yourself.
