Dear sir, I object, in the most strenuous terms, to the association of the word "tinny" with myself, and others who quote the BBC program, "Monty Python's Flying Circus". I believe, to the very core of my soul, that none of us are now or have ever been "tinny". Speaking for myself, I am more "nickel-cadiniumish", while I believe that Rich Rosen is more of a basalt mixture. It is also said that he glows in the dark, but this may be a by-product of some earlier experience. Sincerely, Mr. J. W.
