If Amos's writing were someone else's writing, Ebbie, it would give Amos pause, would it not? ;-) The same goes for any number of people who post here. We all have an amazing tolerance for our own bla-bla and bilgeroar, but not nearly so much patience with that which emanates from others.

I personally find my fictional characters delightful, and I never tire of them. Amos probably feels that way about Herr Liebenscheiss.
