No response, really, other than, while re-reading a few things the other night the following bit of twisted dialog popped into mind:

"C'mon, Kate, Miki invented a new virus and we're going to release it into Liza's room!"

It was probably due to everyone calling him 'Boy Genius' as of late. And lack of sleep on my part. :)

I know -exactly- what you mean, if not the who (I have an idea, but I don't want to know, as the mental image is a good one and I'd prefer to coast with it a while even if I'm wrong). Indeed.

Ahhh, that was the clarification I was looking for. Thanks, and gotcha.
