For the love of heaven, I most explicitly was NOT relaying what I was
told. I was grasping for expression of the sense of a figure that ran by
me in a brief moment in a phone conversation more than 3 years ago and
made that as clear as I possibly could... So, similarly, if I say now FOR
CRYING OUT LOUD !!!, please don't send me a lecture about how loud I'm
really crying.
