Yes, I always did find it hard to understand why those little Baptist girls, the Rieses and the Bels, always seemed to be worked up into an angry snit about nothing much. We all attended the same school but beyond that there are some other factors to be considered. The fishing was good there so everybody already knows that various sects are represented there, whether Baptist, Pentecostal, Open Bible, Plymouth Brethren, Foursquare, etc. etc., all involved in various fishing operations for those who are willing to take up their nets and follow. I see no need to explain that to some clueless Italian whiners of vinegary aspect. I do not recall any license of exclusivity granted to the Baptists, although they probably wish that it would always be that way, with themselves in full control of "it," whatever "it" may be.
Fishing is one thing, but we never claimed any knowledge or supervision of the reliquariums and antiquities of Europe. That sort of thing would seem to fall outside of the jurisdiction of a simple fishing license. Interesting. Everybody will want to read the book whenever it comes out. But who can do that? I just have no idea how that would work out. A Ph.D. in cuneiform and Near Eastern antiquities might put you closer to the action, but you obviously do not quite have the goods on that, especially if you think that I would be able to help with any clue in that respect. Where is Radu when you need him?
