I could hardly ever conceive of you as an "animal," Doc!!!! For heaven's sake, I'd be justly flayed alive, were I ever to think that for even a moment! Which, BTW, i have never done, not least because you have never given me a reason so to do.
Thank you for giving me all the pointers over a very long time by now. I am pretty sure I haven't sufficiently profited from them; but that's not your fault, and I do keep on trying anyway....
Then perhaps you should reconsider your statement that bvw's assertion is "not unjust".
