I've had some experience with Ralph on other lists. He's a funny guy -
capable of being quite erudite in one mood, but when he's in a rage, he's
vicious and obscene. (Just the other day, for example, Ralph called me a
"shithead.") Best to ignore the latter moods and hope for an attack of the
former.
