But you haven't answered my question. I am trying to get some deeper
insight into the real Mike Lorrey here. 

You don't have to answer the question if you don't want to but I did
ask exactly what I meant to ask and I am really interested.

Based on what I have read that you have written I thought you *might*
answer either yes or no, and I didn't know which. I did hope you 
wouldn't just smoke-out on a tough question though, that is not like
you.
