Boy you are obviously getting entangled upon the thread.

Points to ponder here -- 1.  sounding arrogant is different from actually being
arrogant.  I do not personally know Zappa's author and I can't say he is
actually arrogant. But believe me his post is SOUNDING arrogant. 2.  if you
believe I am trying to destroy him by giving him an honest and workable advice,
it is up to you.

A taller bamboo tree usually bows lower.

Good day.
