Of course, John O', I am not speaking in the "literal" sense when I say you are the dripping Spawn of Spaw; I speak in prophetic symbolic mysteries of the deep any & every time I speak! Unfortunately such prophetic symbolic mysteries of the deep are often misunderstood & misinterpreted by those who speak non-prophetic non-symbolic non-mysteries of the shallow. Such has it ever been & ever shall be.

In my previous epistle, I did not ask for a public, nor a private, apology. I did not mention the word "public" nor the word "apology". Nor did I mention the word "diphthong", nor shall I in this post.

I will, however, mention the word "gherkin". That should put the whole matter to rest, that is, if you are of the type who will allow matters to be put to the test. Otherwise, we will just have to call it something other than what we would normally call it under different, though not necessarily better, abnormal conditionings.
