_____________
*When double-checking Dr. Stone's background, I couldn’t find any further reference to him, although references to his colleague, Dr. Goldstein, are abundant. I’m thinking that this person might actually be Dr. Michael Stone, who matches the description given by Bresler of a forensic psychiatry professor teaching at Columbia University. Moreover, Columbia’s website only references Dr. Michael Stone, with no mention of a Dr. Marvin Stone. If either of these men can clarify this point, I would be most appreciative.

    I'm here, observing, but don't have much to say lately. Don't take that as an indication that either I've dropped your blog or I'm indifferent to your recent posts.

    So do you still have limited access to the Web? Me, I'm still making do with dial-up at a blazing 48.0 Kbps.

    Ah yes, Ray. Dial-up. I remember it well. I can remember back in the 1980s, when we were really cruising at high speed at 2.4Kbs, but were happy with 900bs. The main thing is that it works. I deal with so many multimedia files, though, that I couldn't consider going back to dial-up. You have my sympathies and admiration.

    Foam, that's just what the song wants you to believe.

    There are actually more names to add, Devin, but I just tried to get the ones where people would scratch their heads thinking, "Who?"
