Of course Rick, you are one of the demi-gods of the list, or least a
quadri-god
:-)
Sorry I couldn't resist a chance for some gentle ribbing.
Regards one and all,

PS, I see nothing wrong with forcefully advocating one's own position,
if done in the spirit of enlightenment for one's self as well as others.
Indeed, one of the strengths of the scientific enterprise has been to
tolerate those who forcefully advocate their positions.
