Ack! Ok, you caught me :P Truth is, I'm a bit of a greedy bastard when it comes to the few spare hours I have in life. Some might say lazy, but I thoroughly resemebl^H^H^H^H resent such remarks!! And, more importantly, I can't bear the thought of actually destroying the paperback, cutting pages away from the spine, even though I know it is for the greater good... I would certainly never ask Mirmir to do it with his copy of the book! I love them too much. Obviously there is some hypocrisy here.

Sea the cc or onion.
