Although I have received offlist petitions from Joe in the past, I have now apparently been relegated to minion status and am therefore no longer worthy of receiving such spam. You can imagine how much this grieves me; truly my sorrow for this knows no beginning.
"I, the Virion Cassandra, warned you and prophesied to you"
Prophets are of course entirely without honour, so Joe much feel quite happy with the current state of affairs (I know I certainly do). However, I feel the more valid mythological comparison is to Philoctetes, an archer that Odysseus was compelled to confine on an island owing to the stench emanating from his abcess.
"Poor Philoctetes, Poeas' wretched son,
Whom here I left; for such were my commands
From Grecia's chiefs, when by his fatal wound
Oppressed, his groans and execrations dreadful
Alarmed our hosts, our sacred rites profaned,
And interrupted holy sacrifice. "

Truly, those that neglect the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them.
