Jeff,
You opened a can of worms. I'm in a mood to start an argument.
First of all, the block is not the Bishop's AFAIU. So, you cannot know what
he meant, unless you asked him. Have you?
Second, a woman constantly asking questions is not necessarily learning,
AFAIK. [Here my lawyer advised me to say that the same applies to a man].
So, we return to the first statement.
Third, when you talk about "with hands", I believe somebody may start with
you something like an argument between Diogen and Plato about a definition
of a man.
Sorry for being a [xxxx] [xxx]. Maybe, just because of listening Tangerine
Dream :)
