I had been concerned that while I was away, Rapp would have no-one to engage his ego-bashing skills in advanced sardonics and ultimate self-justification against; but I see I need not have worried, as he is the sort that takes on all comers.

Oh, and note to Gnu, take nothing personally. It's not that accurate!
