Thanks for the suggestion, Suan, although the following could not possibly be construed as a personal attack:
John Robinson wrote:
"We discuss Vance here in a mostly civil manner."
He then followed up his own post with this most civil thought:
"get the f**k off this board."
Well, if Cugel were on this board, I believe that he might well refer to Mr. Robinson as a "double-tongued old wowser."
