good.  I think I can quit this stupid 'WT' distinction non-sense I
tried.  It is redundant.  People's reputations speak for themselves. 
Such reputation takes effort on part of the reader initially, but 'WT'
won't help with that.

John, you give 'plebian' the good name it deserves,
thanks for dealing with it,
Tim
