>>>>>[Greetings, Mr. 'Gryffin'. I believe you might remember me, as
we met yesterday. In a sadly uncivil atmosphere, I might add.

It is a pity we did not have time to have a chat and discuss interesting
topics like your inventive use of invisibility spells. However
I must say that I am sure that we both share many things in common,
apart from ponytails, that is.

For instance, I am a passionate reader of classical Spanish literature,
a subject that I am sure you would find equally fascinating.

But, what has this got to do with me? I hear you ask.

Well, I just thought I would enlighten you with a tale extracted
from my favourite work of literature, Don Quixote.

Just to bring you up to speed, Don Quixote is a tale of a crazy old spanish
nobleman who suddenly decides he's a heroic knight. He dons his armour and
goes out into the world to fight injustice.

On one occasion, while going through a forest, he encounters a man flogging
a boy. Quixote demands he stop, and threatening the man with his sword,
forces him to promise he will never hit the boy again. The man promises,
and Quixote departs satisfied he has done a great deed.

As soon as the 'knight' has dissapeared into the forest, the man resumes
his punishment, twice as hard. The child's cries are to no avail. Don
Quixote cannot hear him, and will never now the truth.

What is the moral of this story? Heh, I guess there isn't one, is there?

Maybe that's why I like it]<<<<<
