Jeeze, Ed, I think you got to takin; it all wrong. Why, you ain't had a fraction of a smithereen of the abuse I handed out to Leedle Hack and the Manne of Bookes, yet they--hidebound stalwarts both--keep carryin' on in the best Mom tradition. Why, I even made you a hero in the last Epic!! Most folks don't get that recognition until they've been in harness a year or more, and Little Hawk is still waiting.

I thank you for bringing to my attention the often overlooked sciewntrific particle Monoamine oxidase B, also known as MAOB, which is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MAOB gene.

But in the house of Mom we generally spell it t'other way by convention.

I do hope your personal pique will slip aside and you will return to these sacred halls with new vigor.
