Please note that my belief is unfeigned.

We know.  To whatever degree our arrogance rises to such a level, we at least have the taste to suppress it in the name of decorum.

See?  Was that so hard?  My opinion of you has risen - not that you should worry about my opinion of you, of course.

Not hard since I have long felt that way.I never considered Adelphe's  interpretation impossible,simply not the most probable.

I, btw, have always considered you sincere, willing (and able) to listen to and consider and fairly critique opposing arguments, in addition to advancing and developing good arguments of your own.

Actually,I was reacting to jlb's words appearing as a quote from me.At least that is how it showed up on my computer.Did everyone else see the same?

You drew the short straw and got the first post of the day; it's actually an honor.  I thought you were missing JLB's humor, and was trying to explain his meaning.
