I wouldn't take Laura's posts too seriously, although you might also be careful
if you disagree with her.  I made the mistake of engaging her in what seemed a
polite argument once and now she showers me with a barrage of insults and
ridicule, occasionally overflowing my inbox despite my profuse apologies and
pleading.  More than once she's threatened to use me as a "scratch monkey",
whatever that means.

I'm fairly certain that "Laura Creighton" is the psuedonom Lumberjack uses when
he wants to get real nasty but doesn't want to tarnish his reputation.
