I appreciate your attempt at flattery, but according to the
professionals including the last editor of "More Revealed," I have lousy
grammer. Even so . . .

Have you never heard, "No one is too stupid to get the program but many
are too smart?" Have you considered the possibility that some of the
ones who were too smart to "get it" were the ones responding?

In any case, I'm glad it is not my job to keep Steppers honest, to keep
them from endlessly repeating inane accustions.
