        Well, there may be some people who take offense at boundless
sillyness, but I think most of us benefit from it. In a format like this
where opinions and emotions get thrown around like footballs, we need
something to break the tension and make us laugh.

        Heather, I not only fail to take offense at your postings, I watch
for them and believe that you are doing a service to our little
kingdom-within-the-kingdom here on the bridge. As soon as I figure out
what award would be appropriate for it, I'll write you a recommendation.

        Obviously, not everyone agrees with me. Not so long ago I preached
tolerance of those whose opinions differ from ours, and from what you say
this anonymous message was not written in a spirit of mailce. So there's a
problem you need to work out with this individual. I wish you both luck.

        In the meantime, keep it coming. Some of us were born to serve and
some to lead. I think you were born to make people laugh, like I was born
to make dramatic speeches. What you do is both a service and an art, and
I, for one, would not wish to see the end of it.

        Hmm, maybe a willow. After all, there is a precedent. Anyone else
out there know what Moonwulf got his _first_ willow for?
