begin Rodent of Unusual Size quotation:

> Well, then, I guess you fail to see it.

We concur, for suitable values of "it".

> That does not make the statement correct, however.  

Also true:  Its accuracy may be assessed independently.  (I can
recommend some good books on formal logic, should you be in need.)

> The fact that I disagree with the correctness as posted makes your

If one were to grant the postulate that I attribute to featherless
bipeds, generally, the ability to grasp the self-evident, that would
likewise be true.

> Perhaps you should contemplate my remarks and position on their own

Merits are where you find 'em.

> It is only *your* opinion that I have misunderstood; I think I have
> understood perfectly.

I am much cheered.  Would you perhaps like me to ship you a lollipop?

Irony remains one's second-best entertainment value.

> And for what it is worth, Russ himself agreed with my position

I agree with Russ's statement, you disagree with it, and -- to complete 
a misshapen circle -- you claim he agrees with you.   What's the
expression?  Do the math.
