Astute analysis, Herr Liebenshcheiss! In "layman's" terms, of course, he's completely nuts, but professionals do not use such terms except when referring to the aforementioned cashews, filberts, etc...

One thing though...the old boy is correct as to the origin of the Reg Boys. They did indeed spring from the twisted mind of Rick Fielding, who is, I am embarrassed to say, a fellow Canadian. He's a hell of a musician, but weird, weird, weird. I think it happened when he was down in Ohio. They've got some weird, inbred people down there. No Canadian should ever go near Ohio if he values his sanity.

So I slipped up on the Reg Boys. Big deal. The general "thrust" of my diagnosis was impeccable.

Right, Spaw? Y'all git out now and rent them videos! Y' hear? And stay away from the X-rated stuff! It only leads to attacks of the vapours and melancholia.

And what's this about "2nd greatest psychobabble practitioner on Mudcat"??? Whaddya mean second greatest? Who are you suggesting is number 1? Well? Well???
