(Well, I guess that's just another one lost due to an excess of
subtlety -- I just *have* to stop doing that. )  My point was,
if we can blow anything off just because "heck, it's all fiction
anyway" (IOW, none of this really matters anyhow), then we might
as well not even bother talking about it at all, since no one is
going to be talking about the same thing anyone else is.  It's
irrelevant, & since it *is* irrelevant, what's the point in it?
Well, not a whole lot.... };)

I am??   Heck, _I_ didn't even mention PP -- you did. 
I'm not even in the discussion with him, am I? 
JPH>BN>preaching to the choir, just in the wrong church.

That one I wouldn't really expect you to know, no, unless you're
a Garfield fan.  :)  Big Fat Hairy Grin
