In a message dated 97-12-08 15:29:36 EST, you write:

<< Is "snidery" in your dictionary? That and terms like fertilizer, strike me
as
 rather polemic-overload, and if you really think that one suggestion that
 you were not sufficiently complex is an allegation you are a simpleton,
 imagine how a similarly strongly reactive reading of your language would
 go........it would spin out of conversation, I think.  >>

Pointless exchanges of "not me, you," and "no, not me, you" will add nothing
here.  Your point is, I take it, that you meant no offense in describing a
comment I made as "not sufficiently complex."  Your kind acknowledgment of
that is appreciated.

Beyond that I would only hope that you might consider whether a descriptor
such as "not sufficiently complex" is, itself, polemical.
