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. (Moriarty) Meyer
