Nice turn of phrase there geffa! reminds me of a story I once read. Can't remember exactly, but I do recall the Chessmaster raising his gaze impassively to the eyes of his victim. The author allowed himself various allusions to a dissector looking with with scientific disinterest at his experimental subject, worm on the hook, etc etc...you get the picture, I'm sure...LOL...
We must be a real bunch of curmudgeons but I have to agree.....
