No, Ron dear, this is just your own paranoia because deep down, you're still
expecting some kind of retaliation for your "piece of old folk wisdom": "Den
eyn syn pyp-muus is den annern syn bölk-elk". You should know, as I
explained before, that the Mild-Mannered Moose cannot be provoked, while
that rodent... well, we shall see.

Sorry for not seeing the obvious connection between "eidel" and edel"; I
think that was because I only know the Yiddish word in the spelling "eydel".
I was really only asking out of linguistic interest.

Anyway, I must say that I was puzzled to hear that you consider me "a warm
body in the peanut gallery". I had actually been hoping to be considered "a
warm mind in the peanut gallery", despite my one-time Mae West impression...
