Thanks, Ray, for the clarification and information. It confirms that I
was correct in my aversion to this insect. Anything named a
"nose-lens-foot" should indeed be avoided. But the subject is moot
since I *do* live in the former Soviet State of Georgia. The change in
the routing of the tunnel was no "error," administrative or otherwise.
It was the result of a covert operation by our former secret police,
having two purposes. First, we--strike that--they wished to bring the
capitalist economy to its knees by causing an uncontrollable urge in all
those infected to own as many examples as possible of a very limited
product. In addition, the rerouting of the tunnel saved us from great
embarrasment: we only use Kievs. Some of the originators of this plot
are still around and will, no doubt, take a dim view of your publishing
the existence of the tunnel.
Yours,
Boris--strike that--John
