Yes, but "remarkable?" I certainly had no intention to make you
envious. Hmmm, where did I spot that word "envy" recently?
For some reason it seemed to be attention-getting. Well, age
takes it's toll on memory.

Anyhow, it's not really a fair comparison because I had the
advantage of the best trainers money could buy.

Thanks! I'd also like to acknowledge your generously free
teaching. Of course I learned the above technique by carefully
studying your recent reply to the question, "What is a false
axiom?"

Your reply, "A false axiom is an axiom that is false" was
remarkably terse. It provoked quite a bit of aggravation on the
part of the questioner too, we noticed.

By the way, I've been accused of aggravating you. I apologize
if that's the case. You're obviously special.

Hmmm, where have I spotted that word "special" recently?
It also seemed to be attention-getting. I need to eat more
blueberries.
