Why wonder? My website is http://www.wolfenet.com/~malcolm if you're that
curious. To be honest, I've always wondered a bit about that "Scottie Bowman,"
if that really is your name, and what compels someone who is so sexist and
racist to keep polluting the list with your smug sense of humor when you
braggingly mention that you've written oh so many books yet haven't got the
guts to actually mention the titles, ISDN numbers or mention how we can
acquire such. Ah, yes, the bravery of being out of range. All we really know
about you on the list is that you're an old guy who is a doctor and has an
anal fixation with spelling and grammar. Isn't that right, Mr. Archer? Or can
I just call you Jeffrey?

Ever visited or lived in the States, Jeffrey?

Oh, you'd be surprised. Let's just say that Catholic girls in Glasgow consider
kissing to be rape. Sexual repression being what it is and all.
