[stylist] lessons learned

[EvaMarie Sanchez]

Sem, Yes Chess is a great teacher. For those who think it only a game;
think of Wizards' chess. A wrong move could be toatlly disastrous.
oh and Editors could be great, but we need to put a little effort out
ourselves and not just rely on someone else to clean up our messes.
Tell the monster "Hello" for me. There is no space under my bed as it rests
directly on the floor.
Blessings, Eve
