I hope I'm wrong, but it strikes me that you're trying to pick a fight
with Keith.  No doubt you have your reasons, but I would have expected
better from a man of your calibre.

I have two more short comments to add.

One, I have no desire to start a fight, or engage in one.

Two, I mean to observe a distinction between self-centered and
selfish.  These two words mean different things.

Also let me add, parenthetically, in most cases I consider it
bad manners to discuss a third party in a public forum.  (That
is not meant as a criticism of your commment, which I take to
be a sincere interest in everyone's well being.)  I don't mind
responding to your comments but I don't expect to say anything
specifically about Keith.
