I don't mean that in a mean-spirited way at all. Because it seems so wildly at variance with my sense of things, at first snort I took it to be ironic (and the word "prolific" should therefore be in italics); but then I saw that it might be "cloaked irony," that is, Crowley is channeling Reynard the Fox (what, again?!) and telling outrageous tales with a straight face (to see how far he can go, or just to mess with people's minds, who can say?). But then I realized that he is most likely telling the simple truth. =mantis= ---
