/ Hello Charles Sedman.  Welcome!  Good to see you.                                \
| I've been called And, but you can call me Colin.  Charmed, I'm sure.             |
| Now that we've properly introduced ourSelves, I would like to thank you. Rang me |
| like a tuning fork, you did.  Curiously, approaches you mentioned in your essay  |
| seem similar to my own.  I'd just love to compare notes, if you wouldn't mind.   |
| My last name is Waton, spelled with two "t"s, right next to each other.  You     |
| can't miss them.  Look me up in the context!                                     |
