Rubbish. At times I saw you as a Mr Miagi type character,
who would trasfer knowledge via osmosis while mulling rotting
egg remains and compost near the yurt. Sanding the whole floor with
a drill cirtainly taught me the finer points of java programming,
while making the tea surely gave me insight into the 'flat' hierarchy
of an adhocracy.

It seems to me that when governments rise in the right,
people tend to head left. I suggest everyone reads the great
revolutionary manifesto 'What I Did On My Holidays' and chant:
"Regrettable Decease Without undue suffering To The Forces of
Oppression!"
May you live in interesting times
