It was with great relief that I read your article in the Feburary issue. I had always suspected that there was something very wrong in that wood, and with those characters with which my parents seemed so enamoured. Many of my colleagues now walk around in their adult life apparently EMULATING these pathological characters. For instance, Winnie the Pooh is manifested in several members of biotechnology companies in the Vancouver region, and there are multitudinous Tiggers. Many of my colleagues have Eeyore Syndrome and are receiving treatment. Our foremost patent attorney in the region bears one of the characters' name, namely Chris Robinson.

I have endured many meetings with Piglet archetypes, their fiddling and anxious comments driving me to distraction, particularly towards what should be the end of the meeting when there is no more honey and a bear needs to use the washroom.
