==========================
 NB> Perhaps the etimology includes such things as "sinfully rich", where
 NB> it's so good it couldn't possibly be good for you...?

This is probably it or at least very close to the origin.
  
 NB> Or "evil" being used instead of wonderful...

Story of a friend who was visiting a craft shop attached to a
state prison, whose inmates kept busy by making stuff, and the
sale proceeds would be split between the institution and the
artisans. She was impressed by the quality and value of the
goods and exclaimed, "These prices are so low they're criminal!"
To which the cashier said, "We all are, lady, we all are."

 NB> Good news... looks like you've made some progress towards living.. ;)

Living has never been a problem. Living a full lifespan, that's
another issue.

 ML> CAT scan Monday because I have good insurance or something.
 NB> Anything come of that...?  Those do show more than regular x-rays...

Clear, except for the nodules that appear to be ancient and
that have not changed.

 ML> BBQ places in Austin. I noted the irony of giving advice
 ML> on brisket to my heart doctor. No wonder she never seemed
 ML> too concerned by my diet.
 NB> Did she see the irony in it too...?  What is her speech on... the
 NB> health benefits of eating good marbled beef...?  ;)

I think she is talking lean and grass-fed, but I'm not
completely certain.

 The better doctors
 NB> agree though that (just about) anything in moderation isn't a problem
 NB> for our health... 

And even if there are benefits to abstention, there are also
benefits to not stressing about anything.

 ML> Speaking of mail sorting, what's going on with FIDO?
 NB> It appears to be a momentary glitch.

Luckily, yes, so far.
