Hey Mike!

How kind of you to spend so much finger power explaining all of this to me.
I read your mail thoroughly and will save it.  Thank you!  But you must
understand one thing.  Not all fears are rational, and my disconfort with
wet-exits is one of these.  I've never been entrapped, and don't consciously
fear it.  Think of a phobic with a fear of heights.

All the more reason to work on my roll!
