I don’t deny Simon’s logophilia, but whoever calls other logophiles
“erudite” is definitely humble bragging.

And clearly, while I am very
fond of the style of logophilia that brought us gems like “zonking“,
the “WizWoz machine” and many others, the criteria names in my original
message were a genuine attempt attempt to imitate Richard’s very own
style – as as such, be assured that it was most sincere flattery, and
not at all parading of past quarrels :-)

Ok, might also have been influenced by just finished reading a book by
Alan Bradley…


Cheers,
Joachim
