Although I'm loving the kind words (beginning with that veritable
*geyser of kindness, Thom Duncan), I was, of course, kidding about a
"How Can I Not Love Marvin Payne" thread, which appears on most
people's e-mail page as "Re: [AML] How Can I Not..."
If I were serious, I would have asked for "Marvin Payne, Love Him How
Can I Not?" in which case everybody's page would be peppered with
"Re: [AML] Marvin Payne, Love Him..."

*Thom, that's not pronounced "gee-zer."
