    Dr. Devaney calls this book “absolutely, unequivocally incomprehensible.”

    I call it “exquisite horseshit”.

    Jeebers Malcolm, I think you owe me some sort of qualification of my occasional comments being incomprehensible. Now I’m glad I didn’t go on and get that degree.

    By the way – where’s Professor Hodges?

    Remain in Australia Andra. I suppose visiting the UK is alright though.

    Otherwise, I’ll have your passport pulled.
