Despite your extremely flattering, (or is it done tongue in cheek?) Request to elucidate on the .."Bah! Humbug!" comment, I fear, dear Sir, I cannot. To do so would but dilute its deep and plainly expressive meaning.Search as one may the dictionaries and thesauruses of the English verbiage, no other words really encapsulate my feelings on the subject.
Fare thee well kind Sir.
Bill.
