Well, yes, The point being that the typical reader of this list might

Are you sufficiently an old-timer on this list to remember the time al-
Sayyid Ras al Zib presented himself at my kitchen at a Crown Tourney
with a spoon and a bowl of bourrys (which I really think is supposed

when we all ought to worry about our own souls, and other people's
bellies."
