I'm very observant, Jean-Pierre, and I saw you, on the sly, in one
of your posts, spell it backwards. Returned to its natural order
it was "Matthias," and I had to wonder at your poor spelling!=20
And if you retaliate, you d minus minus you, remember that "Sally"
is the diminutive of "Sarah," which, spelled backwards, and with a
minor doubling (just a bit of a hiss at the end) is "harass."
So there you have it! Ha ha ha!!!

Ah... hmmm. Lalas: righteous harassment.
Lawalas: the shame that comes from=20
righteous harassment.
Lalsa: the nervous giggle the harassor
treats the harassee to while harassing.
