P.S. I *always* read the manual.

Of course not, they were used as paper holders.
I haven't got yet his latest effort that is concerned about the Old Testament. He has a nice guru figure in his early stories. That guy with the long white beard and a sort of night shirt on.
R.G., like most poets, made most of his things up. He was also an avid reader, and maybe not so scientific in assessing the value of his sources. Then why not throw him in the waste basket? I read most of his stuff and I admire him profoundly.
I am glad that you read the manuals. I don't need to do it because my wife has a Doctorate in Electric Engineering and not only she reads them carefully, but memorize them (she is a sped reader) and keeps them in updated folders. Unluckily she is not so gifted in cooking.
