ballbearings and disseminations? intrusions and invasions?
it seemed like such a calm and civilised mailing list and
instead i find skulduggery and debauchery at every turn.
first this hijacking, then what? regicide? challenge a man
you may soon feel fit to challenge a king and after the
king comes his keyring and with the keys gone the jewels
will follow and those jewels have been in my family for
years. i am shocked to find this level of de carre-like
intrigue going on in the honest world of the literary
newsgroup. please cancel my subscription to 'horse and
hound' without delay.

groucho, "i can't talk any more as i have to take dancing
