Bill!,
Bill!, none of your repetitions are needless. I don't think you're built that
way (to do that).
You crack(ed) me up (just then).
Thanks.
I guess!
Taking my medicine.
Now, there was a clear place at which tautology was the word to be applied. It
was in Edgar's circular presentation (he thought, "presentation"!) of "Zen". I
had to laugh THEN, too! Bless this Forum.
Boy, if there's anybody going to be in good health these days, it's ME. Thanks
to some unsuspecting compounding and dispensing Pharmacies named Bill!, and
Edgar.

PS And, Bill!: Tautology is a good 25-cent word. The word needs no
introduction, but just an encouragement to keep on circulating. And, Coin of
the Realm, in my ex- career as a Philosopher. I still "love" Philosophy, and
don't miss it, because I practice it every day. And the Philosophers are my
friends. BTW, I'm re-reading now, again, but on fresh paper, my own copies of
Diogenes Laertius (as the name is Latinized), LIVES OF THE PHILOSOPHERS. They
were printed, on demand, on May 13, 2013 (via Amazon). Of course, these are
ancient mostly Greek and Roman philosophers. What else is new? ;-) Fine
translation. Oh, to quaff a flagon of wine with these thinkers! Or hit them
with one of my (only-) good kyosakus! We could have some fun, and make some
progress, in these times. As we're doing.
