The above is largely obsolete, particularly the parenthetical note at the end.
It is true that I have posted many articles in response to articles addressed
to me (and will continue to do so).  But I expect that my articles will in
future a) be fewer in number, b) be higher in useful content than previously;
thus automatically junking my postings would be a bit much.

Does your fiancee know about your taste for violence?  Seriously, who would

And you folks still don't understand that I have more than the normal want for
security and safety, which renders it harder (though not impossible) to
initiate relationships....
