You certainly don't need my permission to do that. In fact, I applaud your efforts in that regard.

I don't know who brought up the "military" allusion but I don't think it was me. I don't regard conversation as warfare although there is always an element of contention at some level or other if only because we are not all identical--despite efforts to force us into that mold.

In passing, I thank you for the kind words although I have to suspend disbelief a little as I contemplate the duties of a "man of the cloth."

Considering the number of times I've been on report (all of which were dismissed) I suspect many would disagree. Especially about my "humour." I thank you for recognizing that. Not many do. But then not many live in the desert...where everything is dry.
