Okay...personally I don't care where she got the name and I'm tired of the thread - so keeping in the spirit of what I just said, I'll patch this in which came across the ambient list......

I didn't write it, can't verify it, don't care. And, btw, I think Zenon's point was that he thought whoever she really is uses imagery that some people hold dear in a way which is a bit insensitive - a point which would be a little silly to argue against, IMHO. Now, let's all slip on that secreted copy of "Bedtime Stories" and put this thread to sleep....maybe? ;-p jeff
