>I was trying to fly in the face of, well, dextrochauvinist tradition

A warm welcome from the top of the world, birdfeed. Any friend of the ASp is certain to be asset to us all. Nice word, that dextrochauvinist, I shall use it often. Your "ambisinister" crusade is a noble cause, one that has been played out here before by some of the Elect, but sadly the cause appears to be lost. Never mind, if you remove the ordinary and banal from the world, we're what's Left. Dieu et mon gauche.
