Er ... right.

But someone who is so BENEATH you should be easy prey, Alexis.  Chop chop.

Nor did I learn to smoke a pipe or invest in stocks....

Strangely enough, Alexis, everyone else on the list seems perfectly capable
of holding a conversation with me.  At a "reasonably intellectual" level, no
less.  Doesn't mean we all agree all the time.

Even the Masters feel able to stoop to the level of poor infant humanity.
 But then, they have "super-human" patience, don't they?
<chuckle>

Strange also that you indulge yourself with swipes at everyone and
everything, unapologetically -- but I am too "rude" to deal with.  Isn't
there a word for this kind of thing?

Fortunately, I can not be "shamed" into silence, and I think this latest post
of yours -- composed of nothing but insults toward a person you've never met
-- reveals your true colors.
