re good friends and just as
upset as me over the SmurFF fiasco. Well, we have begun something that
will have an effect for some time to come."....
"Me? I'm tickled pink to have had a part in an endeavor which, in the
Baconian sense, allows, '....a kind of wild justice' to prevail....
"Well, yes, I am still angry at the way Dan Field acted when the
