Steve (18 Oct 13 - 09:48 AM), the thread may do what it pleases, and so may you and I.

Pete probably feels glorious like a heroic martyr (Jack wrote somewhere that he turns the other cheek in imitatio Christi), without suffering any real damage. You, Musket, and others appreciate him as a perfect specimen, easy to make a mockery of. What a happy company; congratulations!

Musket, the problem is that so few people are likely to feel well entertained - actually Dave may be the only one. The two of you, and other posters, cannot hide their very own absolutely serious emotional problems, and the result is not funny, just incongruous. You are often very frank about your personal matters though, which is sometimes truly interesting.

You asked for my opinion, you read it; no further issue.
