But, thanks to you and some others who challenge the "Great Author," we participants are kept on our toes. My one regret is Bo's contributions have been limited by the site's referee. But, I'm glad to see that he has given your contrarian views full reign, no doubt due to the high quality of your arguments and urbane civility that serves as an example to us all. Your answer to my question about why are you here was exactly as I had hoped. I was gratified to have my "intuition" about your motives confirmed.
