Right, I see. You're annoyed because I typed up and posted the same passage
as you did. Sorry. I didn't get a chance to read the two chapters until this
morning and had chosen not to read any of the posts on the chapters so that
I was reading the text through fresh. I started compiling notes and
questions as I read, and then looked through the MDDM posts afterwards (and,
as you of course well know, it's MDDM, and always has been). Some of my
questions were answered, so I edited those questions out of my posts. But as
I'd already typed up that interesting passage referring to "Death's Thousand
Metaphors in the World", and hadn't noticed anyone else commenting about it,
I left it in. I also left in a brief recount of "the War of '39" because it
gave a slightly different version of the lead-up events to 'The War of
Jenkins' Ear' than the source you cited. So, sorry for that as well I guess.

And so, I hadn't "ignored the past week or so here", as you complained, and
that's why I asked you about that complaint. Again, I couldn't see what your
problem was.

Hope that's cleared that one up.
