            THE FINE PRINT Does anyone actually read the fine print? Are you reading this right now - and if so, for heaven's sakes, why? What are you expecting to discover that you don't already know? Perhaps you distrust us. Perchance you think we're going to slip something in right under the skin - something dark, something nefarious, something possibly not of this world - when you're not looking, when you're blindly trusting, when you're most vulnerable and exposed. Heaven forfend! The thought hasn't even occurred to us. You can and should trust us implicitly, and everyone else as well, and that is precisely why one ought never to read the fine print. But thank you for reading anyway, as it gives our Fine Print Writer something to do (that's actually her only job, poor thing).
