Mall: I was afraid you would commit this sort of reply. Are you related to Jimmy in California? I don't have time to respond to this overwritten tripe tonight. In two or three days, I will give you my rebuttal. Meanwhile, please read some Hemingway.

Richie: Thank you. I always look forward to reading your race analyses. You are a very talented handicapper.

HP: Hegel stays, and look for Nietzsche to get a bigger role. If you don't like it, don't read it. And your comments about weight are wrong. Weight will cost more lengths at longer distances, but a length is more important at 5f than it is at 10f. (Can't appear to be playing favorites, you know.)
