I try to keep in mind that to the extent what I do is more than just for my own indulgences, that the goal is -- as Victor Venema oft reminds us -- to steer the lurkers toward reality. It takes its toll on me, especially when Anthony's main enforcers, Stealey and Courtney step in when the head post has been trashed and the lesser minions are on the ropes. It was nice for me having a friendly around on that one.Brandon R.

At the ripe old age of nine I worked out they were all insane. <br />The only really sane brother I ever met was my science /music teacher in grade four. He gave me singing lessons at lunch time along with a lady pianist. I once arrived early for my lesson and caught them in flagrant delicto. I said nothing as I thought this is what adults did when us kids were not looking. My only data set at this time was my parents behaviour. This brother later went on to leave his vocation and marry this fine pianist. Her name was Miss Darling and this brother would take great satisfaction to call her darling in public. Much to the consternation of his fellow brothers who most probably had more nefarious habits.<br />I have the dubious pleasure of singing solo in the Melbourne Town Hall with Miss Darling as my pianist at an eisteddfod in the late fifties. It was in the days before decent microphones and we filled the hall acoustically. Before we started I commented how adorable she looked in her new evening gown. She blushed a bit. It was years before I knew what was really going on. <br />Has anything changed!
