Excuse me sir! I don't know where you were educated but I advise you go
to your nearest dictionary and lookup the word opus and you will find
"opus n. pl. opera". There is no need for profanity on this network and I
don't know about the others but if it continues I shall discontinue my
affiliation with this list.

Thank you,

T. Skondin
