Fortunately - ever so fortunately! - neither your grim vision nor bottom
posting in the Udhay sense (never did I think the day would come when I would
retire shrinking into the recesses of Udhay's interpretation in preference to
somebody else's) is on the mat just now.
My mail settings don't distinguish my postings from previous ones. for
instance, if you see above, you will see that your post, never mind the
content, is laid in orderly fashion with neat little right angle brackets. The
theory is that older posts should have an increasing number of right angle
brackets, or some other marker of choice.
Problem is, I don't know how to set my mail to do that, and Udhay is reduced to
dragging his nails down any nearby piece of wall.
Once he gets my password and snoops around, I shudder to think of the
consequences, especially if he gets wind of insaniyat.
Ah, well.
