Well we're talking about French guns or at least pictures of same between outbreaks of paranoia and textual analysis. I think that's good, an alloyed good but still good. The stump drummer should be happy he's no longer a prophet without honour. The "gun scribe" should be happy to have a little companionship in the ivory tower. I guess I'm happy to have Buffalo Bob stir things a bit? It's so hard to tell sometimes.
