Well, in that case, my first answer above applies. I'd never given it a moment's thought. My issue is with the toadiness, not with the sincerity or insincerity of his devotion. If that's your concern, you can ponder it all you want. The only thing I can think of to say on the subject is that if his devotion is "apparent," it's because he *wants* it to be "apparent." That is, my suspicion is that his desire is more to be *perceived* as devoted than it is to be devoted. ------------------------ Yahoo!
