hey hey hey fat alberts...
    i just want to say sorry about that all caps message, i had no idea it 
meant "screaming." i guess i'm not in with the whole computer- minded 
paranoias, but in my humble opinion it seems a little bit anal retentive/ 
obsessive to perceive a type face as someone screaming at you. Maybe it's 
just a paradigm that i am not in, or maybe i'm just not as sensitive when it 
comes to what the letters on the screen look like-- i mean they're just 
letters...
    anyway, about this whole teacher/student relationship thing, someone down 
the line said they didn't think it had anything to do with JDS, but he 
actually had several (i hope italics doesn't offend anyone, i didn't know how 
else to stress the word.... with my luck italics is a secret language for 
"fuck you" or something...) affairs with young women in college when he was 
around 50 or 60. One of these women was even in the news recently because she 
was auctioning a collection of "love" letters between her and JD. she claimed 
it was solely desperation for $$$, but critics think it's spite for 
unrequited love.
    But yeah, JD did have sexual relations with much younger girls, students, 
who wrote him letters and then he would reply with invitations to his house 
for the weekend, and so on...
gotta go to dinner,
