Well, no.  You misassume that I share with you some sensibility or attitude 
or posture.

You're both (if you are two) annoying, God knows, if that's the point, if not 
often interesting (yes, yes, you did say something about Schnitzler). Well, 
hell, I'm not always interesting either.  

The problem (especially since you post over my name) is that one will forgive 
much -- Christ, almost anything -- if there are laughs to be had.  Alas.  
Branding someone "mein fuhrer," punching home the zinger that he's acting 
like, you know, Hitler, who was just about the biggest nazi of all, just try 
and name a bigger one -- great stuff, as Johnny Carson used to say.  It's 
mirth-making of that high order that elicits the disclaimers:  Don't know 
them.  Not with them.

My apologies to the rest of the list, but there's little point in taking this 
off-list, since Slothrop/lothar are not confused about who's who.
