you seem to have misspelled "recieve"



Yes. I see that. And it is devastating to my (jocose) attempt at extravagantly disgusting intellectual hauteur. But on second thought (to wit, "A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery") I can put it down to parapraxis. The repressed motive? To furnish the board with something to retort with to mitigate the potential offence of my gambit.

In this way (by post hoc, ergo propter hoc hypothesis) Homo Loquens preserves both the stratospheric esteem in which you all hold him, as well as his cherished but fragile delusions of intellectual grandeur.

But enough showboating.

Happy new years!

Oh and Consuelo, your lengthy personal message (albeit a little on the servile side for my taste) was appreciated. Thank you.
