Fred, you deserve better than a lingering obscure liver disease. You surely deserve a sudden, spectacular disaster, a final rage against entropy. Something ultimately pointless but really thought-provoking and clever, just like most of our arguments. As a certifiable massochist, I've missed your irritating comments to my posts. Take pride in the fact that no one else irritates me the way you can, you have a gift. From where? I'll leave that to better minds than mine, but a gift nontheless.
