             His first email said I'd make a good fiction writer, and a few other not so nice things that I'd don't really want to repeat here (hey this is hidden from the search engines, yeah?). I emailed him back and asked what he wanted changed...then a little while later emailed him again to say his problem was solved because I'd unpublished.
             Next day I got a really nice email from him saying thanks for resolving matters so quickly (by unpublishing) and adding that he had not intended me to do that, he had just wanted about 20% of the hub changed and that I had actually written a strong profile of him.
             So I emailed him again to ask if he wants it republished, and if so to email me the changes he wants me to make.
             Still waiting on a reply. I'm not writing about any more of them. I don't know what I thinking writing them in the first place. I should have waited till they were dead...

                Glad he at least e-mailed you instead of putting out a hit on you!

    I had cocoa puffs for breakfast, while I was watching the raid on Binladin's compound.

                Although I do think Captain Crunch might have been a bit more patriotic!

                   Oh, my wife started couponing and got a bunch of boxes of cereal for a buck a piece. We've got plenty of The Captain.

                      I love Captain Crunch!  A buck a box is a deal on Captain Crunch...and it's good even without milk!  I try not to think about the sugar content, though.  Why ruin a good thing by negative thoughts!
