Here is a message that came this evening as a response to an earlier message.
I believe I've preserved context.

Nope.  Nothing to do with Pluto, and not a verb.  "Pluton" is a geologic term
for a large body of intrusive igneous rock.  From Webster's Ninth New Collegiate
Dictionary: 

	plutonic (adj) : formed by solidification of magma deep within
    the earth and crystalline throughout.

Sounds like uncomfortable living arrangements.

I dunno about that.... one thing you can say about a Plutonic relationship--
it's as steady as a rock.
