I always prefer the direct approach. Rip Jerry over here. He loves a good joke. Don't try to turn this around. I can see your characterization of Brown as McCarthy (this is funnier than your 1948 variant line), but you're not addressing my point (on your weasel-ness in going about it this way).

Brings us to another subject. Is Rag et. al. ever wrong? On any subject? You think their numbers are correct (this I can understand), you can explain the rationale of their policies from censorship to marketing. Did they really have to take down Jerry's post in response to your clever line? I mean, Holy Cow! What a bunch of babies. How come you don't tell them to 'relax'?

Do you ever take them to task about anything? In private? How about 'using' eight horses in exotics in a twelve horse field? I'm curious. I never see anyone disagree with the party line over there. The Thoro-Graph office is the Middle East by comparison. I can tell you I've had arguments with Brown that were coming close to fistfights. Even friends disagree. I don't get you guys at all. HP
