Um...I was going to point you in the direction of my *Wilde and Howling* page,but having re-read it there seems a slight dearth of Mr Wilde in there.....most of the good quotes seem to have been buried amongst a pile of suspect fish!If you want to see how devious a simple forum can get,why don't you check it out anyway
