    FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

    We were all hoping you really were saying good-bye.

    Instead, you just dredged up another specimen of your infamous
    "unspeakable shit."

    He needs to just disappear--no goodbyes needed. He's dredging up the
    pseudo poems he wrote during his 25 years in high school, and they are indistinguishable from the ones he writes today. That is not a
    compliment.

    Sorry you're so confused, Harry, but being in a tizzy for two weeks will
    do that to you, probably.

    HTH and HAND.
