Indeed so. Thank you, mayo. Richard is sometimes a bit of a resolute misunderstander, as we know. I do not think that so expert a point-misser as he often affects to be could have achieved the professional and academic distinction he appears to have attained. Why he does it, God knows [solely, I suspect: I don't think Mr B himself really knows; seems to be some odd, perverse compulsion on his part].
