Nam's English is usually pretty good, but I get the feeling that in this instance his sense of English may have momentarily left him. > I wasn't surprised.

People aren't symmetrical, though you may have to know them rather intimately to discover this. -- I can't go on, I'll go on.

Goddammit, I spent five minutes in the Google trying to establish the spelling, knowing you're so finicky about it, and that was what I came up with. It's not a spelling-of-proper-names, newsgroup, you know. Marshall

He slings insults at MoeBlee, then supposedly offers advice, saying "Hope that would help you somehow." The advice, while apparently expressing virtues, is the sort Nam himself entirely avoids taking. Thus I don't believe he is sincere about the value of the virtues thus expressed. I also think it unlikely that he is sincere in his expressed hope that following them will be of value to MoeBlee, but this is less sure. Marshall
