            Good point.   Fortunately, I've learned to embrace the vision(s). Or, as I posted on my webpage:   SMUT - the stuff that dreams are made of.

                      I haven't seen you here in a long time, but I'm glad to see you back as an upgraded, new and improved, "professional" member. I tell all my friends that I knew her when she was just a "member." It makes a fellow proud... :-D
