- Be simpler!
                         - How much easier?

 Good afternoon my dears, good and strong
loving residents of the virtual ZX-city
ka with a negative name Net (well, about love
I've already given up on this :)). Today I'm again

nulsya. No, not because I was there, but because

unscrupulous, irresponsible people
turned my thoughts so openly and from
the pure hearts expressed by him are against me,
thereby delivering blows below the belt. Boool-
but how :( Oh people, people...

 Therefore, all subsequent Marazms are now
will be of a literary nature only (I

unexpectedly revived number 11).

 So if you suddenly die in the catalogue,
