That's a cunning ploy, I'll grant you Bill, and it would have worked,
too, if it hadn't been for Nick the FBI man.  Nick commissioned a
Freight Train with your name on it - and the names of all those other
detractors - and it's hurtling down the tracks as I write this,
gaining speed all the time.  As csipgs-s's mentor, Doctor John "Yogi"
Bear would say: "It's not over 'til it's over".  

Just wait.
