it's only the constant harping on the same tired old stuff about how unfair and out of step the whole rest of the world is
The only one who is "harping" is you, Maverick.
If you prefer to discuss this further with Carpathian, keep it up.
You get one free taunt. You've just had it.

I think you misunderstand - my intention was not to taunt but to accept your proposition. <shrug>

Take heart, Maverick. If we make peace, which is my wish, the real winner is not me. And it is not you. It is the Board.
I've always enjoyed sparring with you Maverick. But I confess I enjoyed it most when it was entirely without animosity on either side.
Looking back over time, that represents most of our exchanges.

PBS did a special about 10 years ago on how this song came to be written. Interesting that it's not an old folk song, yet I know three melodies (four if you count shape-note) for it.
