Big Jim,

I am not defending mediocrity per se. I am simply defending the right for it to exist if that's what some people want. Also, as are so many words, the term mediocrity is defined by the person using it at a given time. Your mediocrity may be my star-studded prize that shines above all else; or it may be my swamp of drudgery that does even rise to the level of what I call mediocity.

But, regardless of how we may disagree on this and a few other things, you're still one of my favorites folks at JPF!
