Edward seems a likeable person of wholly benign inclinations, and also I
think we are all friends, here.

This interlude can also serve as a reminder that it's helpful to assume
good faith and helpful aspirations absent strong indications to the contrary.

I am also continually _so_ impressed at how articulate a worldwide forum
manages to remain, in a language foreign to most participants, that it's
easy to forget the strong likelihood of innocent misunderstanding.

It gives me hope that, some day, even Americans can learn proper
English.[1] ;->

(Apologies to any Latinists for the .signature block. It's a sly
reference to current domestic affairs designed to be in good enough
dog-Latin that it can be deciphered by English-speakers. Unfortunately,
the same sentiment in _good_ Latin is opaque to my countrymen who aren't
Latin-proficient, which would impair the joke.)
