hanging my tomorrows on the bones of yesterday

Hey, though I *have* been in a mental institution, I was a contractor there, so it's not the same thing. But I know I'm a stitistacal outlyer that shouldn't be counted in statistical studies, a condition you've hinted at several times (which is not a coded way for saying I'm insignificant or superfluous). Remember Jerry Pournelle's correction of Nietzsche: "That which has not killed me has made a grave tactical error."

So this is what brought us together.
