Mr. van Gelder, I respectfully request that you read my message, over
and over if necessary, until you understand the severity of your
egregious and insulting error. Then apologize, not just to me, but to
the others on this list who have had it far worse, and are even more
fed up than I am with those whose ignorance and lack of imagination
causes them such pain.

The rest of you, no spoilers. He has to make this discovery himself
for it to take.

And to think that hummingbirds are the messengers of the Gods in Mayan
mythology.
