Don't worry, Wabler. He will read it. No one needs to quote it. He simply won't comment on it, just as he won't on mine.

I remember in high school, my dad would tell me, "Son, you need to work harder. We can't tell you to do your homework and chores 40 times a day."

I would reply, feeling clever, "Well, I see Mom making your lunch every day. Why don't you at least make your lunch?"

At the time I felt that pointing out my dad's faults would justify my own. He pointed out the fallacy in such thinking, but it wasn't till I was older that I realized that such techniques do not make a case. Someone else's wrongs don't make me right.

And yet, such is the exact style of the much beloved Bingowings.
