Exactly.  First with an iron fist, then with a lump of wood, and
finally with a piece of string (apologies to whoever -- Cleese must
be mixed up in it somewhere).  He does it well, and I bet it doesn't
take him ten minutes a day, or any angst either.  But he has all the
advantages there, because the subject is tiny and sharply defined,
and the posters have this list to talk about other things.  'Twon't
be so easy here.
