Dear forumgoers,

I apologise but I am not at my best currently. For that reason I will likely be less active. I will continue to monitor the forums and respond to requests from posters, however. I will hopefully recover before too long.

(I have been aware of this problem for some days but it was driven home to me when I was looking at Youtube videos and my brain insisted that one was titled "How will undecided Senators evaluate alligators?" I made the operative decision that I need to withdraw a bit and I will leave the alligator problem in Pharaoh's capable hands.)

Thank you all.

I don't see what the problem would be.  Given a choice between Senators and Alligators?  Well, I think you know which side I support.

I admit that sentencing someone to be thrown to the Senators doesn't carry quite the same gravitas, no.

If you throw someone to the Alligators, the worst the gators can do is eat the victim.

If you throw someone to the Senate?   That can get very nasty...

You have my sympathies, tOH.  Take all the time you need to recover.

I usually don't get that way except through severe sleep deprivation.  Thus, I will make the obligatory suggestion that you get plenty of sleep.  And chicken noodle soup, that stuff could cure anything!  (Except death, apparently that requires whiskey...)

I can only echo the hopes that you get better and my very best wishes.
