<begin faah> Thank you Andrew, for a refreshing breath of putrid air blowing
through an otherwise obsessively correct list. <end faah>.
I suspect that Andrew is saying, in his inimical way, that most people are
followers, and that only a few leaders are truly goal-oriented
problem-solvers. On the other hand, slugs probably don't suck up air as much
as they aerate the soil in which us flowering leaders thrive and grow. So,
here's to slugs, and may they continue to slither in my garden.
