There's been a lot of nonsense in this thread. Justin seems to have
known the correct answer all along; He explains it almost completely
in the note above. (The only thing missing, which he must also know,

exhibited in her tightest tuck.)
No explanation was needed, only reinforcement. Why did this thread
go on so long?
