Yes but where would the p-list be without its "blindly worshipful"
element. Without such people the rest of us wouldn't have anything to
deplore. And visa versa of course. It would have been good-bye-p-list
years ago. And we wouldn't want that. I know I wouldn't. I simply must
see a list of p-messages flash across the screen every morning. Whether
I actually read all or any of them is secondary. The mere presence of
you all in my life has become essential. I guess I should say thank you.
