Well, as thick as I am, something tells me that winning my respect is not
your major goal. But- supposing for a moment, that you were well endowed,
and, that you did decide to, ah, chuck it all, in order to win my respect-
it's not your "chair" that concerns me. Nor am I interested in "getting"
you- there, or anywhere else. But then, I never liked licorice, or Tristan
either, for that matter.

However, it is good to see that you are at least willing to share, somewhat
freely, part of what you know with the rest of us- who are not necessarily
all members of the preterite (at least not quite yet).

If it was I, jody, that helped provide you with some of the cover to begin
this more public discourse, I enthusiastically accept the credit. Such
demonstrances on your part, however, will earn you Nothing, except,
perhaps, my respect. You'll have to pick up the Tea.
