Kenneth,

Appreciate your thoughts.

_apophasis_, a 'speaking away', a 'saying off', 'denial'
Not to be confused with _apophansis_, a 'showing off'.

Untrammelledly (what a lovely word) pointing out the obvious. That's how I see the
task of thinking. You point at the obvious so insistently that it starts to get
questionable.

As for faithful stolidness, well, in the end one can only be faithful to oneself --
which doesn't exclude companions on some stretches.

Best wishes from Cologne,
Michael
