OK, I admit it, this business is really an experiment gone heywire...

I told this "psychologist" in training about how one could test the
reaction of the general public towards disturbed persons by "impersonating"
one;  I bet him that even admitting in articles to be in therapy would
not cause people, in general, to react forgivingly or with kindness.

Do I need to mention that I won that bet ??!!

Sorry, you all have become part of this immense set-up.  Your names and
quotes from your (in)famous statements are, probably, going to be
part of a newspaper-article which will be sold to the NY-Times after
the dissertation is finished.

Congratulations - you may even be asked for a picture ...

PS: courtesy copies will be sent to your mother, sisters, employer ...
	wife, children ....

PSPS: if you ever meet a disturbed person in real life, please be more
	kind in how you treat him/her than what you have demonstrated in
	your reactions to Mark.  If you can't be kind, then, at least,
	don't make matters worse...

PSPSPS: how can we put a stop to these articles getting cross-posted to
	news.sysadmin?!
