I am. Hrm. More sentimental than is usually acknowledged. The thing about sentimentality is that it looks ridiculous in a middle-aged fat woman. This column is lovely, Barbara, thank you! - RepoRat

"libraries exist to foster the sharing and dissemination of knowledge more than anything, not to efficiently mediate information leasing."
