I don't mind! What the world thinks is not a good guide to actual truth, and what Alan pretends to think, though I don't congruetize very often,is no more or less irrelevant than what other anonymous persons pretend to think.
Each person is an ego and each person is more than that. The ego makes them seem less than they really are, and though that's opposite its apparent intent, I think that's mighty nice of the ego to make the person so humble.
