I got this wet blanket thrown over my “reader love” posting: “Well, do as

you like, but long ago I made a simple rule never to ingest anything sent to

me by a stranger. It was the death threats in the mail that made me

think–once, not twice–about it. But

still, any comestible or potable I get from total strangers goes straight

into the dumpster. Even from people who claim acquaintance with an

acquaintance. We have enemies, we conservatives do, and the more psychotic

they are the more cleverly they can pin their way through seals and

safeguards. But, as I say, do as you like. Happy Holidays!”

Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too, Mr. Squidward.
