George, you heedlessly insult both Reg and me, with an emphasis on the "heedless". In particular, your slanderous characterization of Reg. Reg is by anyone's estimation (poll, anyone?) an extremely thoughtful, eloquent and fairminded man, as well as a terrific writer, and obviously nobody's "elf." As for you, an old and trusty maxim springs to mind: "Beware the weak and the witless, as they can spare no mercy".

Giving me the opportunity to use my all time favorite line....

Sir, I have two words for you: the first is unprintable, The second is "you".

Yrs,

David Baerwald
