I'm pretty sure, Lee, that I've never harmed you, nor am I arguing ad
hominem.  My concluding paragraph was a meta-statement about the
response I felt I owed Rafal, and an observation on my awareness of
the humorous inadvisability of engaging with your often intelligent
and interesting but characteristically polemical and gamesmanlike
posting style.

Feel free to address the substance of my post after you've recovered
from any perceived wounds due to being called mischievous.
