Re: Torturous ad clarification

Hey, if that's what she wants to say, let her say it.

You can read all you want into that ad, and you undoubtedly have some
good points, but I'm afraid that if she was really saying all of that,
she was being just a bit too subtle for all of us earnest wordsmiths.

You know your audience; she didn't. She should keep her mouth shut
until she does.


Thanks
