   I understand that. There's things I want to tell, but sometimes reading

   I try to not repeat them too often too, but put them back when I get   
   confused about who's meant. :)   
      
   I have a general quirk about not repeating stuff, not just names.

   Oh dear.   
      
   If she were a character I'd fire her and make up a new one. :) (Unless
