start censoring.
Sub specie aeternitatis, I don't care what sort of entity MA Camp (Esq)
is either. But if it hadn't been for Mike's openness and (what's another
word for 'shamelessness'?) I wouldn't have gotten to know him, and by
not knowing him I'd have missed out on something substantially
worthwhile. (The same is true, of course, for a fair number of others
whom I've met on Phil Lit and its descendants.) So this is my answer to
the question I posed to Andy: if we just posted canned stuff to one
another, we'd never get to know one another in all our warts and finery.
