Dear Stephen,

I am working hard at achieving a perfect balance of yin and yang (with 
just that bit of extra yang to keep the missus happy), but the road to 
the primeval androgyn is long and winding. My name, the name of my 
grandfather, is actually a diminutive in Dutch dialect (Brabants) of 
"Janus", but don't ask me how they managed to transform that into "Joy" 
(pronounced "yoy").

I will let you know if more people start responding to my postings (gros 
bisous, Joanna)... ;-)
