Well, I suppose if you say that an entire field contains no one who is
good and cannot by definition contain anyone who is good, some will take
offense. You must have expected that.
I would note that I toned my remarks down considerably in this polite
public forum from what I would have liked to say to you on the street.
The other subscribers don't need to read that.
I will have nothing further to say on the subject.
