Roger, since we are exhibiting the wounds we got upon St Crispian's Day, 
I will note in passing that I lost two years' work in the 1974 Brisbane 
flood.  Beyond that, I plan to ignore your posturing.

I have just been writing the story of a scientist called Wilhelm 
Blandowski who fell victim to the mealy-mouthing of sanctimonious prudes 
in Melbourne in 1858, so I am not in the mood to put up with a modern 
version.

If you have any more to say, please do it off-list.  I will then ignore 
it, so nobody will be annoyed, but you will still get a warm fuzzy feeling.

Wishing you well in your distaste for the asinine one--we have common 
ground there
