I deserve that (my concern about defending the AMerican way is insincere
and, what's worse, insipid--never write a message in the heat of the
moment!). Yeah, I'm emotionally-centred and Gurdjieff says that people
should be more balanced. One little squeak I'd like to make, however, is,
squeak, squeak

My impression is that anyone suggesting the manual unfair will be zapped,
gutted, boiled in water, plucked, sliced up, packaged, and labelled
ungrateful. And that bothers me. I dont like that. I dont want Grahams
feelings hurt either, though. Anyway, I leapt into the crowd of
torch-carrying townsfolk to rescue Doctor Anonymous. I fell flat on my 
face.
. No, I wasn't the one who posted the anonymous message--I'm too lazy to go
to all that trouble. But he did go to alot of trouble, was sincere, and
deserved better than to be hunted down like a doctor who had dared to
challenge the laws of nature. Oh well. Time for me to shut up for good
otherwise (you say all you said was the English school system was
different?! Obviously you implied more than) I only strengthen my
reputation as a humped-back fiend lurching in and out of the castle
searching for an explanation to parse_name. Oh look! Igor limbers up to
pole vault over John Kenneth Galbraith.
