God bless you for your comments about the creepy Jules and his
big-butted big-breasted Playboynoid fantasies.  Barf. That this egomaniac
has been living rent free in my brain for several minutes each day has
made me scrub extra hard in the shower. But the overwhelmingly sympathetic
tone of the other readers (except my good buddy Mascaro) has made me
despair of pointing out how obsessive and sexist his postings have become
(believe it or not women aren't particularly thrilled by someone who
cannot tell the difference between humans who happen to be genetically
female and white goddesses--particularly from someone who rails about NOW
appropos of nothing except his own apparent misogyny.)  So again, thanks
for pointing out that JS does not speak with the universal voice esp.
since he's so prone to pontification. You'll notice BTW what Chrissie
thinks about his sensitivity towards women, and that little psychodrama
came to us through the unreliable narrator himself (shades of HH?)  diana
