Bill Satterfield jotted down the following:

> Martin, are you intoxicated with the exuberance of your own verbosity?

Look who's talking! ;)

On a more serious note, just as some people get sick of the whisky, watch,
and whatnot threads, I find these threads on "please help me find an excuse
I can present to my wife for buying this expensive piece of equipment" or
"how do I best hide my new Noctilux/Summicron/M6 Jaguar from my fiancee" sad
and unecessary.  Perhaps I'm just misinterpreting them all consistently, but
I never see any smileys to indicate that it's all just a joke, and I find it
rather alarming that there seems to be a general consensus on this standard
modus operandi of misrepresentation, cloakery, and deception.

And no, I'm not going to shut up -- until Brian kicks me off.
