While one wisely makes a policy of not discussing things with rude people, one does also sometimes make an exception.

And in this case I get two such birds (t. and E.B.) with one stone.

One understands that there is no "greatest" or "best" when one is rating at a certain level of excellence, or one is not to be trusted.

The Clark of today scoffs at the Clark of yesterday, and certainly will at the Clark of tomorrow. I agree with them all.

No "best", I am scolded, whenever the writer is of that particular turn of mind. Yet now we have his "three best". And best of all (sorry!), *he* gets scolded in turn: "First, it's a ludicrous notion that there's a definitive best, and second, it tells me nothing of substance."

People who genuinely respect the opinions of others don't get into such messes.
