That’s a nice thought, ChiefWahoo. But, I don’t think that the Great One will be here any time soon to answer. He’s far too busy thinking deep thoughts and solving all the problems in the universe. (Or, I may just be bitter since I signed on 20 minutes too late to hit the last thread that Cecil showed up in and now I need intensive psychotherapy to get over it). ---

I hope you are doing fine. If you have the time to read this, I just want you to know I am trying to do my part fighting ignorance. Sometimes it is my own, but ignorance is ignorance. We love you and keep up the good work. ---

Dear Cecil, Please ignore the flagrant and shameless self-promotion of others more interested in a ‘sig’ line than in your physical and mental well-being. I realize that you are very busy, trying to eliminate the pandemic ignorance of the world, but a simple answer would suffice. I don’t believe you have answered this question before, a search turns up nothing. Cordially, ChiefWahoo ---

> [@](#): > > Please ignore the flagrant and shameless self-promotion of others more interested in a ‘sig’ line than in your physical and mental well-being NO! Really! I’m not like the others. I truly CARE about you. **chief** Other than making my Indians look bad, you **have** to quit hiding the medicine under your tongue. Please repeat after me…s-w-a-l-l-o-w-i-n-g is good. ---

Hi, everyone… I’m Cecil’s evil twin. I may know nothing, but I’ll relay to him that y’all are concerned for his wellbeing. ---
