Dear Mr. Satan:

A few questions.

A. Should I be worried that Satan has welcomed me to the SDMB? Where exactly am I?

B. Why is Satan invoking “the love of God?”

C. Whose idea was it to convince Satan to become a non-smoker?

D. Should your signature file be “I’m too sexy for a cig?”

Your Buddy,
