The ONLY slightly snarky bit of her entire lengthy post was the last four w=
ords of the last paragraph.  And incredibly mild snark at that.  If it were=
 me, I'd have called a spade a spade and called you a raving paranoiac.  Bu=

Oh, you do.  But it's your karmic debt to accrue so do as you will.  Must b=
