ick [Was: to bogart]

Sorry, y'all. I had to search /in:all/ to retrieve the context. I wrote:

(Sigh.) I can never read the word "tamarins" without being sidetracked to
tamarinDs, which are a fruit. The monkeys are undoubtedly smarter, but
AFAICthe fruit are better eatin'.

and meant "as far as I'm concerned". Definitely a false economy of
keystrokes.
