to borrow but modify a gibe by GBS, too bad only you and I feel as you do regarding me
Sounds like something GBS would say. GBS sent 2 tickets to the opening of one of his plays to Winston Churchill, along with a note reading: "Bring a friend, if you have one." Churchill replied: "I can't make the opening but I'll attend on the second night, if you have one." BTW you are being modest (if not uber-modest) in questioning your influence on this Board.
