How did you get her to return? Did you have to drug her? Or is she that drug-resistant Steph I keep hearing about on the news?

Actually, they finally *gave* me drugs and now I'm much better. Or much worse, depending on one's point of view...

Oh, "they" have kept me locked up in other forums, where I could cause less trouble. But "they" finally decided that TomW couldn't handle this one by himself anymore.

It'd take a full-time staff of psychiatrists to figure THAT one out!

Actually, they did. To paraphrase a line from Robert Heinlein's classic (and my favorite) novel 'Glory Road', " Three times zero is still zero."

Hey Steph, don't know if it's been mentioned in any other threads but wanted to say congratulations on the reader profile in ATT this month! Of course I already knew the whole Steph bio but it was a nice read.
