Anne,

I hope both you and your patient are well. As you know, I've spent
my professional life listening to patients tell me about their
concerns. I'm not at all nosy, but you should know that you have
a sympathetic listener (reader) for anything (medical or otherwise) 
you want to tell me.

I propose to characterize the appellee's brief as smoke where there
is no fire, smoke that is evidence not of deficiencies in my
plumbing but of the existence of an elegant (and expensive) smoke
generator at Kopelman & Paige which produced also, and conclusively
explains the Inspection Report and Condemnation Order.

Hypothetical prospective re-inspection of my plumbing is hobbled
by the authoritativeness of the Boards previous findings, by the
bondage to the Board of all available witnesses, i.e. all licensed 
plumbers, and by the circumstance that the Code itself is 
demonstrably a sophisticated framework and pretext for identifiable 
superstitions.

These are mere random thoughts, which require no reply.

Ernst
