"I didn't write that; someone wrote it in response to me. And I'm probably
the one who should apologize for asking the question and using the term
"mental illness", not Sally; I'm not so conversant with modern American
culture that I know how to be politically correct, and I'm soffy if I have
offended anyone by being too blunt. Irina"

And I wasn't even a part of this discussion, so I have no idea why I'm
being quoted as having said that!
