	Hmm.  Seems like the feeling is becoming mutual.

	Ah, what elegant sputum.  What luxurious flummery.  What a waste
of bandwidth.  If you would like to "introduce" the concept of the
private library, then do so.  I'm just afraid that by the time you
finish thumbing through your thesaurus for that oh-so-glib bon mot, your
audience will have fallen asleep at the console and your wit will be
-- sigh -- wasted.  The loss, the loss...
