The argument that you think we're having is not the
argument that I'm trying to make. Mark is perfectly
capable of defending himself, or not, as he chooses. He
doesn't need my help, hasn't asked for it, and that's
not what this is about for me anyway.

I would never try to change your mind about anything,
Bob--lesson already learned and filed--and my voicing
an opinion that is different from yours is not a gambit
to make you change your mind.

We all have our personal icons. Mine are not the same
as yours. Perhaps I might see things differently if
someone were speaking ill of David Goldberger, but even
he is merely a man with human flaws, so probably not.

This is what is not obvious to me.

I can assure that I'm eminently floatable these days,
Bob. :)

One would hope, but it isn't likely, is it?
