thanx len
tho my actual point may have escaped in all this niceness
which is not at all to tell anyone off of anything
but rather to reinvite everyone on to everything
or in other words
to let not only our fingers do the walking
& the talking
but to actually throw our hearts & intellects into it too
& especially our feet
for it is such holistic pursuit of happiness that we have actually & explicitly signed on here
to celebrate
or we have deliberately ignored the specific invitation & opportunity presented by bp
& have never even noticed
let alone received
its uniquely multidimensional value
