Thanks Damien, I too regard you as a pal, and if we ever meet in meat-space
I will be delighted to shake your hand. When we argue I hope you don't take
it as any sign of disrespect. When someone can give me a strong
counter-argument such as yourself (not quite as strong as my initial attack,
at least in my humble opinion, but nevertheless pretty God damn strong) I
tend to think more of that person, not less.

And there is nothing wrong with that, absolutely positively nothing. And
when you bounce ideas off me I hope you don't take personal offence over my
response. In the heat of argument I might get a little carried away from
time to time, but please understand, if I didn't realize you had a brain I
wouldn't bother to respond at all.
