It seems that first I appear magically in miniature size, then I appear full size in your kitchen. Did I understand that right? If so, why would I do BOTH? I can see how one or the other could make sense, but I don't see the rationale for having both occur consecutively. Also, I would like to point out that (1) I wouldn't eat your food without asking you, (2) I never drink so much that it affects my behavior or appearance, and (3) I don't drink sherry because it tastes like alcohol. Readers are likely to suppose that those aspects portray the real me, and get the wrong idea. Would you be so kind as to change those parts? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
