Whoah, hold the phone. I want to get you right on this, avoid the
"you said that I said when you said that she said that he misquoted my
definition ... " trick on which you must now hold several federal
patents ....
Is the above definition a statement on your part that "I" (== "you")
can speak with any authority for "we all"?
Do you claim to have any authoritative opinion on what I or anyone
else wants, apart from a fairly universal desire not to be run over
by a mac truck?
Clue me in.
