Well, Res, I've really stepped in it this time. All the trolls are done
with me. Whatever will I do now? My floppy drive still doesn't work. And
I was getting so much good help from them and now they've gone, and I'm
-- I'm -- I'm -- I'm -- I'm just bereft!

Just so you know I'm gonna kill myself this morning at 1000 hrs, sharp.
The reason I'm waiting so long is I need time to cut up my rubber
penguin and mail the pieces to that nasty little sneak -- what's his
name? -- the genius who calls himself Cybe R. Wizard.

You've been a good friend in the short time I've known you. Please don't
tell my mother of my disgrace.
