Ellee is led astray by her good nature. The 'Jeffrey Archer' who has been leaving comments on my site is yet another prankster from my increasingly large collection. I don't know which one, but I have my suspicions. When it comes to his self-esteem - or, in fact, anything else, Jeffrey has no sense of humour.
