It just kept coming and coming.

It was after about seventy unsolicited messages had filled my Hotmail inbox that I knew that I had a topic for this month's column. By the time the column was written and ready for posting at least another seventy had arrived. Another thirty are on another page not shown here, and perhaps twenty more were thrown out before I realized that I wanted to write about this, and display it graphically.

I haven't read all of these messages. I haven't read half of them. Some of them, for one reason (not necessarily sex) or another, whet my curiousity, or appetite. Five of them can be read here, if someone is willing to take the time and find where it's worth clicking. I haven't exactly hidden them, but other than changing the links to make them available from this page I haven't devoted much effort to this either. The ones without the envelope next to them are the ones to go for, but not all of them lead anywhere. Let's say that if it were treasure it would be buried, but since it's only of dubious value, I'm not sure that someone really wants to read the map.

And of course, if someone finds a title that suggests to them that they'd like to read the whole letter, I have no intention of emptying this particular inbox in the near future. So send me a request telling me which letter you'd like to read, and if it's still there I'll forward it to you.
