Noon othir than Baba Brinkman hath taken me to task in a maner that maketh Johannes Gower seme a smal fluffy bunny. Update: See the commentes to this poost for to lerne that we haue maad pees and are sworn brothirs. Yif pees could be as esily y-maad bitwene Engelonde and Fraunce, muchel joye wolde be broughte vnto the worlde. Swich pees and brothirhede ys a fayre thynge in thys seson of holydayes.

    I'm thinkin' there's room enough in this wide world for both y'all. You're just dancin' to different fiddles, so of course the results may vary.

    I don't know that it makes a damned bit of difference, but I'll be back here a long time before I go back there.

    Ywis, that was my poynt. Both vs two stryve to make my werkes known by a larger audience, yet we do it in divers maners.

    Hah, hah, the online etymology dictionary has first occurance of "fluff" in 1790.

    thatte swich rhyming ben nat worthe an torde?
    For myn parte it ben trewe that Chavcer bin
    Ovre greetest rhymer, to saie else war sinne.

    Hats off to you, noble Geoffrey. I admit my words were a bit crueel, but keep in mind that you did call me out.

    I am well quyted, and I concede that our mission is the same (nor can I compete, it seems, with your army of fans).

    Let us be henceforth brothers in arms, spreading your fair Tales to the ends of the earth, you in cyberspace and me on the airwaves.

    Your i' faith,

    baba
