Dear X.1,

It has come to my attention that a heretofore unknown version of X the Unknown, X.2, has begun posting under your name, and I am developing a grave concern for your (X.1's) well-being.

This "person" is issuing a torrent of unctous apologies and all manner of other very unX.1 behaviors: cordiality, consideration of others' feelings, sweetness, light . . . Since these attributes are completely out of character for the X I've come to know, I'm just wondering what the HELL IS GOING ON? Have you been kidnapped? Lobotomized? Born Again? Prozaced?

X.2 is exhibiting an alarming degree of bliss--a nauseating display of idiotic niceness that is doing irreparable damage to your well earned, and finely honed reputation as a caustic raconteur, and I'm getting sick and damn tired of it.

Please advise.

I move that all posts containing the word apology (in any form) be automatically diverted to the Extremely Boring thread. Any in favor, please drop a note to Admin Bob.

X, I meant to ask yesterday, how you were able to so quickly train your fellow attorney to get into the "a" word rap(I speculated that you may have agreed to allow him to wear some of your garments -- hopefully, you didn't go so far as hinting at a future hugging possibility).

In his absence (probably going door-to-door checking to see if anyone needs a back-rub) I see you've gotten the Liz to fall in line. Remarkable! I can't imagine how you do it.

Mike
