As the insult comic Don Rickles gets referred to as:  Mr Warmth
   I think of the very creative, talented, and highly intelligent Roman
   Turovsky as:  Mr Tact.

   I too wish that Roman would expand on his interesting, but very terse,
   thoughts.

   Best,
   Stephen.

     Hi Daniel,
     I am sorry that you felt addressed by my not so polite remark - it
   was
     actually a (too) quick reaction to Roman's answer to my original
     question. I felt somewhat mistreated by simply getting the message
   that
     all my assumptions on which the question were fallacious, full stopp
   -
     with no further explanations. That style felt like a slap in the face
     instead of an answer, telling me mainly how ignorant I am (in
   infinite
     contrast to him) instead of giving me the chance to learn better.
     Maybe I misunderstood his intention. Actually I would very much like
   to
     understand his very interesting statements better and to judge them.
