An urgent inquiry into the mental well being of Mr. Drusus
My dear friend Mr. Drusus,
As my first act upon waking this daybreak, I delivered to you correspondence of a nature which customarily precipitates a punctual response expressing your enthusiasm for the topic of our mutual interest.
I am most aggrieved to have not received even acknowledgment of aforementioned correspondence, and do hope you are not afflicted with some malady of the venerable brain.
Re: An urgent inquiry into the mental well being of Mr. Drusus
Dearest Mrs. Shea,
My brain is as venereal as ever, thank you very kindly for inquiring. I apologize forthwith for my slothful failure to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence. I do indeed fully intend to secure the item or items of our mutual interest and then compose an encomium to them, or should they disappoint, a furious denunciation.

Dear Mr. Drusus,
I too have a link on a topic of shared interest. I appended a new message to the LibriVox thread announcing this recent and long-awaited release, where it was overlooked by your good self. Therefore I have taken it upon myself to append yet another message to this thread to tell you that Six Characters in Search of an Author is now available for download, and I hope you will look with a kindly eye upon our humble offering of Pirandello to the denizens of the internet.
I remain, as always, your obedient servant,
Null I. Fidian

Well I must say it's been wonderful joining Mr. Yau and Mr. Drusus as they revisit the antics and utterances of Mr. John Bender, which are surely memorable to those of us of a certain age.
Re: An urgent inquiry into the mental well being of Mr. Drusus
I don't know, is it Mr. or Mrs. ... or, Ms. maybe? Or, if it were none of the above and, it were truly M., it wouldn't be mighty ambig-of-us for he/she or, any of us to say.
However, just to specify "M." alone, without further qualifying it, doesn't really tell us anything.

M. Iacchus,
I beseech you most abjectly, sir, to break your intent concentration on the matter of whether my gowns or cods envelop or cup a smooth or a pendulous genital region. I am not bound to assuage your curiosity, and am in fact rather amused to see it penetrate so deeply into your cerebral cortex four years after you first darkened the door of this fine establishment.
For the historical record, however, and the edification of all, I hereby confirm that the m in my signature does indeed stand for Marcus, as in the Tribune Marcus Livius Drusus. Our Roman forefathers in their great wisdom often inititalled their praenomen (their given or first names) and went by their nomen (name of the gens or family) and cognomen (the name of their specific family line) in the public record.
So you see I am neither mighty nor big, but am instead
Re: An urgent inquiry into the mental well being of Mr. Drusus
No, that's Mr. Iacchus to you. There is, in fact, nothing ambig-u-ous about it ... except of course Iacchus isn't my real name. Oops! I just let the cat out of the bag!
