OP you-both'll A take-off on you-all?As to the dictionary-singing, that was the whole point: the yes-buts. [back to the fray with a grin e]
If a person does a good deed but then trumpets about it, is he altruistic?
No...that is clearly opportunism Aha--but what's wrong with telling a few people about it, if the action, say was done purely for the benefit of group A, and the people you tell are group B? That doesn't negate the benefits in any way that I can see.
Who is or was this Dworkin dude, anyway? Rather unfortunate name...
