"THERE! Does that satisfy you, Mattias?" -- Yessiree, Bob ('though Bob's no
uncle of mine, 's'far's Ah knows), it shore does that! Thankee kindly, Sir!!!
"Nosey-parker", I think is rather a British expression than American; I might
have picked it up from Dorothy Sayers Wimsey-novels (I finished "Busman's
Honeymoon" -- for the umpteenth time -- last night), or somewhere similar,
although I'm not certain to any degree. That it means (or, rather: I think it
means) "busybody", or more specifically "person with incessant, insatiable
curiousity who pokes his nose into anyone's business he comes across", I'm
sure you've already figured out -- and thus it's equally evident why, under
the circumstances, I applied the epithet to my not-so-humble self.
Anyway -- thanks again for the information, which'll come in handy enough,
since Greger Nass`n called me last night (after my posting, actually) and asked
wether I had any idea what you were doing presently. Now I do. Thanks!
Remain, Sir, assured of my regards!
Mattias
