I'm almost frightened to reply to this message because you have been bashing us Brits big style this week <s>.

>"Those who know, can't say. Those who say, don't know." Paraphrasing Mr. Jim Booth.

Just to put you straight, I think Mr. Booth was paraphrasing the following ...

*++
* Those who know don't talk.
* Those who talk don't know.
*
* Close your mouth,
* block off your senses,
* blunt your sharpness,
* untie your knots,
* soften your glare,
* settle your dust.
* This is the primal identity.
*
* Be like the Tao.
* It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
* benefited or harmed,
* honored or brought into disgrace.
* It gives itself up continually.
* That is why it endures.
*--

Taois. Not Boothism.
