    No need for psychoanalysis, Mike.  You're obviously 
    one sick boy.  

    Which is an excellent start for a career in writing.  
    Another good thing to have is a natural aptitude.  
    And this you seem to have in spades.  Can words ever convey 
    what a pleasure, what a delight, it is to read a piece 
    of English that consists of clear thoughts expressed 
    in simple, lucid sentences?  The hardest, most expensive 
    stylistic trick of all to acquire.

    In a desert of emotive, tortuous, barely intelligible 
    prose your post shone out like that lonely candle 
    in this naughty world.  

    You're very badly needed around these parts. 
    For Cripe's sake, don't go away.
