Henry Musikar!  I--along with the rest of the list--saw very clearly what
you meant with that "grin" as well as the mockingly similar one I have
decided, after serious reflection, to reproduce above.  I'm trying my best
not to lose my temper, but if you continue to persecute me in this manner
you will force me to write 1,000 lengthy posts to the Pynchon list
defending myself and attacking your grammar.  I will also commit all of my
professional life to researching the sources of everything you've ever
written.  Furthermore, I will send you a
cocky-pooh-pooh-wee-wee-goober-earwax award just to show you how righteous
I am.  I happen to be very wise, so I can assure you that no such award has
ever before been issued in the history of the Internet.  

As for whether you're more likely to obtain satisfaction with lawyers or
giant foam rubber cocks, that's more your business than mine, isn't it? 
Satisfy yourself in any way you see fit.  Then we'll see what kind of grin
you end up with.

<grin>
