      I ask you to puzzle over the following questions:

      No doubt you all know that my piece just blew a smoking crater into the voting queue because I was so floridly delusional when I wrote it.

      My question is: while I was not angry with you, but merely irritated enough to point out the error of your ways to you, not only was I not delusional I was as sober as the Pope and as clear-headed as a fighter pilot the whole time I worked on it.

      I took great care to write it just the way I did, that I myself regard it as the very best piece I have written in my life, while that other lucidly written and informative piece I dropped into Edit a few hours later, merely helpful and informative but not in any way important.

      I'd like to take up the question of how, after making just two small edits, I might resubmit only to have you blast it to Front Page.

      My psychiatrist Dr. Hugh Maquire of Truro, Nova Scotia once speculated that Schizophrenia could be cured through nothing more than weekly Psychotherapy.

      I now know him to be correct. Solving the Software Problem is the textbook, with HOWTO Move a Dungeon Master to Furious Anger being the first really lucidly written chapter of that textbook.

      The drugs that treat Schizophrenia can cause horrible side effects. I have experienced many of those same side effects over the years.

      Tardive Dyskenesia can put you in a wheelchair. Risperdal gave me a mild but very obvious case. I continue to take it anyway, while my Psychiatrist took up watching me like a hawk as he carefully adjusted my dose up and down so I never had to take more than I absolutely required.

      The case of Dystonia I got a little over a year ago leads me to bend my right foot to the right. I can relax it, but only when I apply continuous mental effort to doing so.

      Eventually I asked Dr. G. if he could look into how I might avoid breaking my own ankle. He continued to prescribe Zyprexa, but also Cogentin. No more explanation required. Cogentin is just a bit more effective, but the over the counter antihistamine Benadryl works nearly as well should I run out in the middle of the night.

      The whole time I was in Nova Scotia, I visited the Emergency Room on a regular basis because a phenomenon known as Brain Plasticity had made the Risperdal which was once very effective for me, almost completely usefuless.

      I was floridly delusional when I was admitted to Dominical in Soquel in April 1994. All I required to be discharged four days later was two milligrams of Zyprexa.

      In December 2003, I knew that I was but days away from making Bonita a widow: three, maybe four more days and The Thought Police wouldn't arrest me, but I would finally grow weary of my life on the run and turn myself in.

      I turned up at the Emergency Room at the advice of the Mental Health Center receptionist. I asked the Good Doctor there if he could look into the question of how I might avoid slaying one of Truro's finest with his own service pistol.

      "Glad you asked," he smiled. "But it's after hours. You're going to need to wait a while."

      I smiled. "I know all about Emergency Rooms. I didn't set foot in this place until I figured out which book to bring with me."

      How to Want What You Have by Cognitive Psychotherapist Timothy Miller. It's not in print anymore but not at all hard to find used. Don't let the Sun set until you've ordered your copy from Alibris.

      Eventually an incredibly hot young blonde Russian Psychiatry resident from the teaching hospital in Halifax turned up. She wore a tiny red cocktail dress and black fishnet stockings.

      The instant she introduced herself with a thick Slavic accent as Marina Sokolenko, I charmed the socks right off her... well, black fishnet stockings anyway... by speaking just a few words of completely unaccented Russian.

      Had I ever done well at my Russian studies at Tech, Bonita wo
