Sorry all regular Rilers for the prolonged absence. Too many of us at lalaland have all but been consumed... As one poet put it: 'the little boy was not aware/that he had been eaten by the grizzly bear.' Nevertheless, summer is upon us, mangoes beckon -- and hopefully they're neither be exploding nor bursting, just yum. Thank you Noor : ) This is it, in its entirety.

" Is there ANYTHING at all we can do about these question marks other than manual editing? I wish to see more of this, if there is more that is.
