   Okay...personally I don't care where she got the name and I'm tired
of the thread - so keeping in the spirit of what I just said, I'll patch
this in which came across the ambient list......

I didn't write it, can't verify it, don't care. And, btw, I think
Zenon's point was that he thought whoever she really is uses imagery
that some people hold dear in a way which is a bit insensitive - a point
which would be a little silly to argue against, IMHO. Now, let's all
slip on that secreted copy of "Bedtime Stories" and put this thread to
sleep....maybe?
