Hi. I'm confused. I thought I was Robin Melnick, brother of Alex
Melnick and erstwhile peripheral member of this group. But recently
I have become convinced that I am only a figment of John Turley's
imagination.

Or have I just seen "The Matrix" one too many times?

Still, I think it was damned clever of John to not only complement
his Alex hoax with a complete Robin back story, but to even
manufacture several hundred photos, as well, including many that
sure do look like Robin 25 years older and 25 lbs. heavier than when
last seen by most among this group. Of course the truly brilliant
part was PhotoShop'ing up a 3-year-old who's the spitting image of
his alleged daddy. Well, JT probably had help from the folks at R&H.

Fictitiously yours,

RM

p.s. For what it's worth, I would never foist pictures of my kid on
unsuspecting strangers--or even long-lost friends, for that matter.
I do post an insanse number of photos for my mom, who still occupies
the ol' homestead on Franklin St., since she doesn't get to see her
only grandchild all that often. It would seem, however, that my
brother is a closet pictures-of-my-nephew foister!
