   You have more patience than I have.  I felt I was trying to have a   
   conversation with a punch and talk doll.  You give it a punch and it   
   responds with a preprogrammed comment which has little to do with what   
   had just been said.   
      
   I was sure you were aware of all this.  I just could not resist the   
   poke at the Winnut.  I will overlook the insult to Costello and the   
   unspoken insult to Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd.  I am certain   
   it was not intended.
