Rich stated:
". The farther out an apologist gets out on a limb, the more he/she seems
to write."
Is this why Rich is the volume leader on the Amps reflector? Is he
admitting he is an apologist?
And, since I did not fully understand the meaning of the statement, I pulled
out my 1500 page Consolidated-Webster Comprehensive Dictionary (A Library of
Essential Knowledge, dated 1953, which I picked up an estate sale recently
for 10 cents). I was not surprised to learn that an apologist is one who
makes an apology.
Now that I understand what an apologist is, Rich's statement makes less
sense. Someone who is making an apology has the good sense not to get out
too far on a limb. So, an apologist would never get far out. And, if he or
she has the good sense to apologize, they would probably not write much.
Rich, I am missing something. Are you making an apology? Are you claiming
that Tom has aplogized? Or is it Eimac?
I thought I understood your position, but now I am confused. Perhaps I need
to spend more time reading my Library of Essential Knowledge and less time
trying to understand what you are saying.
