[Mmwg] Just for fun .. huh?

[William Drake]

Herr Dr. Prof. Wolfie,

Apparently, you have entirely too much free time on your hands.  The WSIS
principles hold that angst and acid indigestion must be transparently and
equitably distributed amongst all stakeholders.  Hence, please inform me as
to which of the projects I'm trying to finish you will kindly take off my
hands, and how I can get some of what you're smoking.

Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.
