[Still yet more excellent bull throwing snipped]

Ed,

Thanks for the lesson in bull throwing. You certainly are a
master at it. It is very kind of you to share your expertise
with those of us who are not fortunate enough to have your
abilities.

Perhaps some day you will see fit to grace us with a treatise on
the petrography and transmitted-light microscopy of sandstone
concretions as it is well known that you are the net-xpert on
this phenomenon.

Regards,
August Matthusen
