No, I'm serious.

You're not. What you want to do is to be a guru, as opposed to being
what you are, which is a jumped-up little twit. You *pretend* that I
want to be a guru, but in fact it's the other way around, and always has
been.

Who cares what 'troubles' you? From whence, to put it another way,
cometh this 'trouble' that you experience?

I have an international career as a soloist and teacher, and therefore
what I say to people tends to be taken seriously, so yes, I do care.

I notice that you don't deal with the substantive part of my post,
maybe because having concentrated hitherto on the merely fiscal side of
the real world, you're what nowadays is probably called,
elementary-science-challenged.

Piss off.

Tony
