even substance of any form whatsoever.)

Boy am I glad I wrote Hiroshi and Daisuke Are Dead.  Makes me
feel a little better when I see darkfic strangeness like this.

To which Zen responded quite inappropriately.

Gomen Nasai, Stefan.

Zen had just received several posts that had been sent to him (not through
the FFML) from people who thought that Zen DID write this piece.  Maybe
they had read a partially snipped reply to Zen's comment on this story, Zen
does not know, but it was disturbing to Zen that paople should think that.

When your post came in through the FFML following those, Zen utterly failad
to check the header himself, and made a rather embarrassing mistake.  Zen
feels very very stupid right now.

Please accept Zen's most humble apologies.

*sigh*

Zen the Heretic-
(Who needs to practice what he preaches, and check the headers!  D'oh!)
