I struck three names from this month's list. Their real problem was that no one asked after them even once they were gone.

• Iren BarnaiThe names no one asks after tend to end up with me. All three arrived safely.

• Countess FerencWith a list, it's the names you keep, not the ones you strike, that ought to frighten you.
