What I happened upon....

[Sean Mannion]

I fully understand, content to drop. Again, sorry if the spectres of this 
whole thing has fucked up anyone's holiday weekend (especially yourself, 
Dave). For my own part, plans went array at the last minute and I had only 
the prospect of mucho reading, smoking, and the clearing out of my 
ridiculously over-filled and creaking inbox to look-foward to (the latter 
probably being the only reason I found myself reading entire threads at a 
time this weekend, anyway).

Regards,
Sean
