     The trouble is, someone says he got the bios mixed up, someone
else uses the word "gem" and I cannot tell if he's using the word
straight or with sarcasm, so now I am totally confused, and will just
assume both couples suck.  So the good couple has been done a
disservice.

      I think I would have preferred naming names to avoid any
confusion.  All the dropping of "hints" to avoid that is just a copout
anyway, because ostensibly the hints are supposed to lead the reader
to identification of whom is being talked about.  I mean, it's like,
"I don't want to mention any names because I am far too nice to
criticize someone publicly, but here is enough data to reveal who it
is anyway."  Seems kind of hypocritical.

      So maybe it's better to say nothing at all or else come clean
with everything, I don't know.
