Wow, Phil!!!
What insightful and astute statements you've made! I mean that sincerely!
And, damn, will you look at this?! Your perceptive thoughts have miraculously made a valuable contribution to Shen's site for future generations to ponder!
I don't appreciate that, not in the least, and to me it isn't funny. One of the best things about FR is that if someone wants to take issue with anything that I've said they can address me directly. I can also directly address them. What I posted can now be lambasted and lampooned without my ever being given the opportunity of any further reply. What I wrote here has even been changed and the context with which I was answering is completely missed.
Shenandoah's web page says "
Do you have any statement you'd like to leave for posterity? email: Shenandoah"
I didn't e-mail what I wrote today to Shenandoah, thus not submitting it for posting there, nor was I asked if it could be posted elsewhere than FR.
No, I don't find this funny at all!
And I would've spent a considerable more amount of time editing the thing if I had submitted it. I think faster than I type.
Typos are pretty well accepted at FR!
