Mr. Lebrecht is welcome to call me inaccurate and even intemperate as he
can prove me wrong if he will, and, as I have never been one to hold back
my feelings, I will even go along with intemperate.  Illiterate though? I
think not.  I think I can quite well prove and exhibit my ability to read
and write.  It was a lovely alliteration though, and very worthy of any
good writer.
