God…this is why I wish I was better with names, especially online. Whenever one of these damned things gets posted, I’m struck with the hideous feeling that I might have known this someone better than I realize, but it’s all swept into the dark because I can’t put a name to the voice. ☹ I’m so sorry. Rest in peace, **Betenoir**. ---
