Is that "fat" as in some technical term, or in the usage of "unthin=bad"?

No, no technical terms involved. Gollum calls Sam "stupid fat hobbit" (I'm quoting from That Movie--sorry!--but isn't it also in the book?); it's become my new favorite all-purpose epithet, and I've just modified it a little here. It's not even linguistically interesting, just me being weird.

:grins: I've actually started "stupid fat-"ing things, too. I got the reference as soon as I read it.

Glad your email's up again.
