Seems to me that Wes Britton was only--in comic fashion--reminding an author that the Forum is for that "insightful discussion" that many here have been demanding. Such discussion ought not to include an advertisement for one's book--or a defense of one's place in Twain scholarship--or should it. If so, then we may all end up missing the mark in Twain's humor. Or was Twain serious when he said, "I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough." Jason G. Horn Gordon College
