Such a gracious host! How sad that a charitable attitude seems not to
be among the good Mr. Brodie's virian virtues. Certainly, if my humble
posts are not enlightening at a quick enough pace for his rarified
tastes, I would invite him to just add them to the kill filter.
Otherwise, participate if you like, but kindly save your witty inside
asides for direct e-mail. I am amazed that one would so publicly post
such insulting commentary to a group one purports to have affinity for,
but I, of course, am barely Level 1.75 and clearly not so enlightened.

Alas,

Ian
