Kerist! 'Obviously'.
Obviously not! We have met just once Kingston. And I brought with me very
unusual TWO BOOKS - in fact your saw them sitting on a table and remarked to
me that they had to be mine since who else would bring them...do you
remember you said that?
Do you remember what one of them was? ROFL
Do you remember the inscription? ROFL.
Your opinions are as vague and as worthwhile as your observations. And
despite writing with his editor and publisher at extraordinary length for 10
years, you still prefer to lead your own commentary with "obviously have no
acquaintance"  )
Hurry - Join Brennans Club! They are looking for egos just like yours.
