Slim Virgin,

I owe you an apology. I mistakenly attributed the use of the word "menial"
to you. I see that was incorrect. In fact, having read your past
contributions to the List, I was struggling to believe you had used the
term. I'll pay closer attention to the order of the posts in a long thread
from now on.

Sorry,
