Ok,

1) Gives a "d-" is 19th Century shortening of "damn" - sorry, been reading my Austen in lieu of studying (grin)

2)By death of Germanicus - I meant *your* interpretation of, not the death itself. Of course he's dead - it's almost 2000 years ago.

3) "Murdering" 18 people? There's alot of people in the US that would disagree and say that 18 people convicted of a capital offence (i.e. treason) in a country with capital punishment aren't murdered, but executed (Before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusions - *I* personally am *very* against this) - a small but subtle difference: like that between kidnapped and held captive in a cellar for 18 years, and being locked up by the state for 18 years for having committed a crime.

4) Are you sure Lenin wasn't wearing socks? A watch? Jewelery? How can you be sure? This is my point - it's too private to be able to know.

5) *I* never called Livia "useless wagon" - go back to the original post (oh so far back in the mists of time) and see I was explaining Syme's mysogeny. And I *never* called her a bitch - I wouldn't, I think she's one of the greatest female politicians of all time. Where did I say she was a bitch? All I asked was that you provide your evidence for your assertion that she was poisoning her way around the Empire - which you still haven't done. I can provide mine for my assertion that she wasn't.

6) I passed all my subjects (Ancient History, Classics, Psychology and French - first & second year) with a Distinction/A average, and all my third year subjects with a perfect 4.0 GPA. You'll have to ask my honours supervisor for the rest. Is that ok?

7) Sorry about the sign off error - oops (sheepish grin)! I hadn't had my neccessary 15th cup of coffee by then ;).
