Hi John Allen, and welcome aboard. We appreciate your candor but some
things are better left unspoken. You are well aware of the taboo of
discussing various tailed apprentice helpers we have. Similarly,
discussion of physical and mental disorders are verboten! Not that your
admitted ailments are at all unique in this group. Why, I know for a
fact that most Florida galoots moved to that state in search of a cure.
There are quite a few in the south of Lalafornia, too. Better to live
with the maladies, taking sustenance from the occasional absorption of
fresh rust than to spend exorbitant amounts of money on ineffective
therapy (boats, golf, fly fishing, bass guitars, there are many
others...)

And all the rust must go, as in 'go with', right?
