Hi Neil,
I hear what you`re saying. With respect (in return), I believe you seem to
be into this debate/discussion a little too deeply, too intensely. I don`t
think, as far as I can detect, that any of us is suffering from the desire
to "release angst-ridden energy" so far, (not unless some wife has reneged
on a promise). But again Neil, I hear and agree with your content. It`s just
that I think that the exchange of mail re: Stoker, has erred towards
misunderstandings which has unfortunately, (there`s that word again) raised
temperatures a little.
Shall we now get off this, and enquire further if there are any living
descendants, (even "living dead") of Bram himself in America.
Best Wishes,
Tony W.

P.S. (to Bill?)
Do you have any reference library where this family line might be further
researched/exhumed?
But only if klarinetters` wish to. It`s no big deal if this big garlic eater
Bill dies a horribly tortuous death thru` eating whole cloves, thus bringing
a relieved end to the Garlic Growers Inc. distribution problem!
Back to sleep - - - -
