    Not in the least an ad hominem, not even a tinny tiny bit? Be honest with
    yourself Samantha, suppose a few days ago I had said you were dishonest,
    tremendously uncaring and I hope you encounter a swarm of carnivorous
    reptiles, what do you suppose your reaction would be? I'll wager you'd be
    writing a protest letter to the list administrator at this very instant
    demanding I be kicked off. If the many worlds interpretation of quantum
    mechanics is true in some parallel universe I did make such a intemperate
    remark and you are writing a protest letter.

    Ah, speaking of ad hominem ....

    Perhaps you imagine the difference is that I am a scoundrel so your insults
    are obviously true while you are a paragon of virtue so my insults would be
    obviously false.
