It's just rare that I find you on a thread not devoted to psephology - I mean, look at that word, can you blame me for keeping my distance?

Si vales, valeo, as always.

Well, I do wade elsewhere actually, often into economics, and then to even areas where I don't think I have an intellectual advantage, just to test the waters. But I understand your distaste for the dismal science, and the non-science of psephology, that awful word, that seems to suggest some criminal act on some orafice (sp).
