STEVIE! Good for you! Not only do you recognize that you have a
problem...well, problems...but you seek out treatment. I would think
you need much more help than posting to ROFF, but I have a new view of
you, almost a respec...well, OK, so no point in fibbing, but no longer

a sack of SHINY, NEW hammers and queer as a 6-DOLLAR bill...
