    Your Nigeness,

    I tried to find your e-mail address, but failed, so I hope you don't object to my contacting you by posting a comment here. In case you did not know, Frank Wilson started writing a weekly column about 4 weeks ago. I think you would enjoy reading it. A new one runs each Tuesday and the pieces are archived here. Thank you.
