Dear Aidan,

Thank you for that summary.  Now I positively know that I am in no hurry
to dabble in Prolog, eye patch or no eye patch; see below.

This was an oblique and opaque reference to the great literary work of
Torako of Japan called /Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai/, or

   /Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions/

and while I don't like to link to Wikipedia, it has a picture of the eye
patch in question, so you can gaze upon the wonder that is Rikka Taka-
nashi,

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love,_Chunibyo_%26_Other_Delusions

and I sincerely hope that you consider adding this work of great litera-
ture to your no-doubt ever-growing pile of Tsundoku.

And unlike the literary work, or anime if you prefer, my central hetero-
chromia is not something I can just turn on and off; it's always there.

I do not have an /evil eye/, at least in the traditional sense of liter-
ary fantasy, but am willing to dabble in evil according to the dogma of
the G.N.U. fantasy reality.

And on the subject of such evils, you'll see me join the XEmacs list of
mails in the near future, so I added comp.emacs.xemacs to this discuss-
ion.


Best wishes!
