My appy-polly-loggies, since I'm one of those mentally ill people we've
been discussing, my mammary is a bit shakey and I really did think
urine name is Gala, even though I knew before that it is Gayla, but
I've never been good at names, I've had to come up with all these ruses
when I see people to avoid calling them by name, or maybe it's
incipient Altzy's, or who knows, why am I being so defensive, why don't
I just admit to myself that I got your name wrong, and why am I
referring to myself, that's a Hofstadter self-reference thing, and ewe
no the very best, most powerful form of self referece (IMHO) is to use
intelligence to boot-up ever higher levels of intelligence, another is
the mind studying the mind, and Dr. Hofstadter stated in one of his
books that he thinks self-reference, and general reference, is the key
to Humanity's ever spiraling upwards advancement to infinite
knowledege, and you know - I megaditto that concept.

You're too creative for me.  I can't compete.  I'll have to go away,
shame-faced, and cry in my pillow.  You're just too good, Layla.  You
win.
