I at least recognize that BOTH of us had your concerns in mind.  There 
is so much in your many posts to which I would like to reply.  They are 
usually very thoughtful (even if slightly prolix).  The problem is that 
they make me think so much that I never find time to reply.  It's much 
easier to respond to an idiot by making a sarcastic comment than to give 
due reflection to thoughtful essays.  So I put your messages aside while 
I deal with the mountain of other things in the hope that I will be able 
to appreciate the diamond that is left when the heap of dung (including 
spam from non-WP sources) has been removed.  The result has been that I 
now have postings from you in my things-to-reply-to box going as far 
back as June 2003.

I can only hope that the timing of your life-affirming event will not 
conflict with the proposed events of August.  Although I would not 
consider my attendance to be a certainty until I have secured the plane 
ticket, I do look forward to meeting you.

En "Citadelle" CCXII on trouve, "...le gendarme, étant né pour cogner, 
s'étiole s'il manque d'aliments".  J'imagine bien ton dessin de 
l'endroit que tu a visité en Algérie, et des enfants qui sauront qu'un 
dessin d'un chapeau n'est pas toujours un dessin d'un chapeau.
