There *is* a good argument (or two) to be made for the position you and the

You have an excellent command of language, and you express your opinions well.
But you presume too much if you think I want you as my teacher in these
matters. I expect a teacher to lead me to my own conclusions, something I
cannot depend upon you to do any more than I can a politician.


If you will not my "excellent command of the language" you will see that
I specifically do NOT wish to be your (or anyone else's) teacher. I was
merely pointing out that a much more coherent argument for the position
espoused by "Tom Watson" existed than the one he was trying to use.

No, you put on an air of superiority -- you knew the "good argument (or two)",
and you were going to reserve dispensing them for those who want you as their
teacher. If you -really- wanted to compare your arguments with Tom's, you'd
have stated them. Something you have otherwise done with abundance.

Are you and "Watson" one and the same, BTW?

No. Tom has more poet and storyteller in his pinky than I have in my entire
body.
