Roach, in short, I wasn't referring to you. dc_dux and I agreed on something but it took a us a little while to sort it out. I got a huge kick out of your "riff" on historians as bad conceptual artists, especially when you're lumping yourself in there with them. If you don't mind, I may cut and paste your post to some history professors I know.

And by the way, I think you're agreeing with dc and I.
