  use what you like. I usually find quilt simpler, but really, I care
much about you beeing comfortable with it than me. You may want to
read[0].

  The sole subtility here is that I'm interested into guilt myself, so
if you don't fit all my usual "requirements" I don't care, because I
know I will take good care of guilt. Though if you meet them I would be
delighted :)

  This page is meant to discourage lurkers. But don't be afraid, I'm not
an ogre :D
