The above is delusional on so many levels I'm not sure even where to begin.

Your ad hominem statement makes whatever you say less trustworthy...

Sorry. My bad. I sincerly apologise, to Andre, and to all members here, and I hereby retract my comment, quoted above. As I do so, in my own defense I ask the members to consider that while my phraseology was bad, I personally don't consider the word "delisional" to have quite the same level of negative connotation that others attach to it. As human beings, we all have delusions. I myself have, for at least two decades now, harbored the self-delusion that I may someday become a Great Man. That delusion is comforting, but probably not very realistic, at least not at this late date, and given my fundamentally poor temperment. Regards, rfg
