_…diving into the air to catch that stray, totally unexpected shot from the lady who eats ants… …reaching out and snatching the arrow from Welfy before he misses it…_ Ah, Turpentine, had I but know, may I assure you that you would have been liberally peppered with arrows… Fear not, your diet does not scare me, and I hope that in time the passions may grow to be for more than my name… many thanks, and a hope for later virtual snuggling!! [sub]gosh… a totally unsolicited valentine… _grin_[/sub] Welfish One… I was unaware that you were willing to accept, even in part, my foolish virtual longings… but if you peruse the thread with your name, you shall see that before anything more can happen, apparently I have a duel to settle… until then, I shall keep this arrow in a special place, wherein it may be safe from harm until the day I may pierce myself to the quick, with it’s gentle steel barb… ---
