Bill!,
I'll say the irony was not lost on me, either!
But if you read ALL of that, then your stamina exceeds mine, as does your
tolerance of drivel. Any entertainment-value wore out quickly for me, and I
suspected that the post was cribbed online from some would-be teacher like
"Osho", or some such other dangerous poseur.
Now I'll put on my catcher's mitt and collect all the overripe tomatoes sure to
come my way, pitched by some others here, and'll don my goggles to protect me
from the splatter sure to leak through the webbing.
Gee, I have to admit I haven't had a baseball glove on in too long; I guess I
miss being 13.
Cheers, and greetings in the New Year,
--Joe
