	I just went out there and said,'Look, you guys don't know me, I
	don't know you, I heard some bad things about you, are they

	kind of a thing, but I think they sensed I was a little strange. . . .
	Crazies always recognize each other. I think Melville said it, in a
	slightly different context: "Genius, all over the world, stands
	hand in hand, and one shock of recognition runs the whole
	circle around.” Of course, we're not talking about genius here,
	we're talking about crazies—but it's essentially the same thing.
