Ralph, You sent a message today " Proto-preservationist in protracted
purgatory prio" that comes up with a message, "Error during editing." I
don't know what is wrong with this message but if it is something earth
shattering please resend. [emphasis added] Thanks, Ruth

What a kidder you are, Ruth!

Look at the bright side-- you didn't have to read it OR delete it without having read it first!

PS: The full subject was probably "Proto-preservationist in protracted purgatory prior to proctological probes," and most likely had something tangential to do with the jillions of Jeremys jamming our junctions just now.

PPS-- Which reminds me--who's the weisenheimer who arranged for the nice folks in the fictional town of Young America, MN to send me a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo razor? Pyrate and Rudy (and the other hair-faced Pinheads) better have gotten them, too, or I'm gonna be pissed. If I'm ever gonna shave again, it's gonna be with a straight razor, of which I already have several. Now THERE'S an incentive to grow a beard.
