You are DIOGENES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you apologizing for any statement you have made?
It has been written that Alexander the Great spoke to Diogenes at
some length and was very impressed with his candor and unrelenting
loyalty to speaking the truth.
He stood up, casting a shadow on Diogenes because the sun was at
his back, and said "I am Alexander and I will give you anything you want."
Diogenes said "Get out of my light."
Alexander said "If I were not Alexander, would I were thou."
However, a friendly suggestion....Do NOT put wine colored cloth on
your table....Fairlady's collector car will be blocking your driveway for weeks.

You never fail to impress me my friend... Most people just ask "is it pronounced Dye-odd-g-knees"?
I guess that I was temporarily blinded by the shadows in my quest, while walking about during the daylight with my lit lantern.

To which Diogenes replied, "If I were not Diogenes, I should also wish to be Diogenes!"
Sometimes our lantern oil runs low... and it takes someone who will not block our light to see clearly again.
If I were to read such post as this in the NPR section... then I would perhaps offer a bit of favor toward that place. But as my search here in AZB is of the game... the best off topic post that I am most likely to find... is within that place where I started my search... and will end it.
As a true cynic... it matters very little to me why the moths will blindly fly into the flame. They are free to do so at their will... just don't ask me why I don't join them.
I am DIOGENES!!!!!!!!
