WARNING: a response from one of the "bad guys"! (Announce)

Yes, and I'll use this invitation to reply.

However, a tiny warning to all those who love fairy-tales, have just read Jack's farewell and now have tears in their eyes: better stop reading, else you might look into the Devil's face!

This is very gracious and merciful from you!

When I was young I especially loved the tale "The wolf and the seven kids", where the wolf finally eats some chalk to hide his dark voice. I somehow can't help to think that something quite similar happened to you after you read my remark about Tom "having crossed the Styx".

The bad thing is you soon will need some acknowledgment from more than just your 3 friends and then this boring little game will start again.

> Sorry, Tom. I will leave.

Glad to read that!
