It
seems the sense of my own reality becomes more ephemeral with each
passing
year. It cannot be healthy to be always talking to only oneself, so that
is
why I burden the rest of you with my mutterings. How else will I know if
I
exist?

The operational word here is BURDEN!!! How else will you know if you
exist. Take leave of here and with the each passing yer we can take
turns sending you Thank You cards on your birthday. DEAL???

Ed has a crush on me.

Get some smarts and who knows?

But if there's one thing I don't want from him is thinking I exist

You only exist ever so briefly as a phantom when I read your messages on
Usenet.
