I am truly impressed, not only with your exceptional knowledge of  
moral-rights jurisprudence, but also with your assessment of my legal  
abilities and your insightful interpretation of my comments.  It's a  
wonder that I ever managed to accomplish anything without the insight  
of Thomas Dalton, especially with regard to this tricky copyright stuff.

It's true, Thomas -- I'm a dope, and I need your wisdom to straighten  
me out.
