i think it's fair to say simms is a scum bag.  i'll robably end up getting
chopped for that.  but it is the truth - we all know it.  and today we
have seen the scum rise to the surface in simms.  it was like watching art
in motion.  maybe the message was a forgery.  i no longer bother checking
- and we all know my history there.
