It's OK, Jim; I have no problem with Geezer's portraying me as a high-
handed, arrogant megalomaniac; I doubtless possess those qualities in 
abundance. :-)  

I'm actually rather glad he brought up my old site --  when I first 
joined FFL, everyone had a chance to read it (if they wished) and 
uunderstand better where I was coming from. It is many years out of 
date now, however, and over the years (even before joining FFL) I've 
occasionally considered removing it, as I've come to value simplicity 
and ordinariness more and more, but each time someone has written me 
to thank me for writing it, so with some ambivalence I have let it 
stand. It is in essence a letter to some of my past selves, some of 
whom would have *loved* to read it! Perhaps someday I'll update it to 
reflect more of my current thinking ... or perhaps not. :-)

*L*L*L*
