Yes, I am serious. I found out yesterday that my dear friend Geoff had received some private messages, and as a result decided he does not belong here, and deleted this place from his computer. [pause to try and regain control e]

I don't know what was said, or by whom. But I didn't want him to depart unknown and unmourned. I am putting this in this category because humor is where he felt the most comfortable. I find it extremely ironic that, just two days ago, I wrote to him and told him that his posts seemed to indicate he was feeling more sure of himself. [another pause...] I just want to curl up on somebody's lap.
