Hello, William.
I'm glad you're not offended.

"I haven't dared reply to you myself. You have overwhelmed me with your knowledge of literature <g>."
That's all right. You're welcome to debate the point.
I hope it doesn't look like I've been "showing off." I'm a graduate student in English literature, so I slip easily into lecture/debate mode on this sort of topic. Remember Sir Francis Bacon's famous saying: "Knowledge itself is power?" I seem to have an arsenal of knowledge at hand.

To drop another axiom, forewarned is forearmed....
