*Well, John, it's a well-known fact in chess that the
kibitzers see everything best - until they actually
sit at the table. I don't remember actually expressing
any position, extreme or otherwise, in the recent
discussion, among other reasons because I wasn't sure
what the discussion was about. (Unless, like Phil, you
know what I think even though I am not saying it.)
Mostly I confined myself to teasing Eric and Phil. To
present this as evidence of the limits of my
intellectual capacities seems rather ungenerous - but
then perhaps that is what I should expect.
O.K.
