[DeTomaso] NPC: Response from email

[Bill Lewis]

Michael, I wondered if the email was from vickie or wayne!!  I think that most women do not understand the depth of the meaning that men have for women, and I mean the specific innate, uncontrollable sexual urgings involved.  Women hug babies, kids jump into mud puddles, men glance at women with "that" look!  So what!  As long as they don't do anything wrong - ignore it.    ----Bill Lewis
