Dear Santosh,
Next time I form an opinion in life I'll be sure to conduct a ten-year
objective study, followed by a five page desertion. Then I will confer with an
academic faculty, have my findings published in a respected journal. Look
forward to peer reviews. If and only if it is accepted by a jury of not less
than 10 independent reviewers as being a possible true finding, will I take it
to be my opinion on the matter.
Meanwhile, do have a sherry on me.
Best,
Selma
