	If I¹ve counted correctly, we¹ve had 137 witty (I could be wrong)
exchanges on the general subject of a routine phishing expedition trying
its luck on the Mark Twain Forum, an exchange devoted to interesting and
enlightening comments on and insights into America¹s greatest writer and
humorist.  And then we have it all end with thatŠ. thatŠ. that current,
clever, crowning honorific ‹ ³Twainiac.²  May I just sayŠ. ³Seriously?
Seriously!  Puh-lease!"

Best regards,
