Well, this is indeed communicating in a--lively--fashion!! I realize I have been 
away from the list for too long, and slogging throufgh 278 messages takes its toll, 
but am I missing something here?  I thought Spielberg did--Paradise Lost--and that 
Dante just cranked out that Divina Commedia thing, the one where the guy makes 
a--trumpet--of his arse.

Which may well describe some recent post(erior)s, er,  post(ure)s as well.
