Sooner or later, Roy, you really have to consider my assertion that Kier
is quite deliberately positioning himself here. His position is far too
consistent to be that of someone of limited experience and significant
naivety, as his "mistakes" always, 100% of the time, *without exception*
go the same way. Every time.
Rather like Dirk Gently, I do not believe in coincidences. Particularly
when we keep getting the same ones, over and over, for years at a time.
What I find amazing is that everyone else is prepared to consider
coincidence as a reasonable explanation.
