levy, I am puzzled by your fluctuating love/hate relationship with Naveen. If he visualizes Wall Street analysts as lemmings I feel certain he intends the remark to be complimentary. After all, lemmings are a most accommodating species. When they become too numerous and endanger humanity's vegetative resources they voluntarily migrate down to the sea to drown. They not only enhance the food chain of the sea but also the land, as they are welcome prey to carnivores on their journey of self destruction. In this respect they are much akin to "schmoos"(Sp.?), the species that disproved Malthusian wisdom, made famous by Al Capp. If you recall, schmoos multiplied rapidly and delighted in serving mankind's Epicurean desires. Naveen's heritage is a culture marked by grace and civility...Unless, of course he is a disciple of Kali, Goddess of Darkness. As you no doubt remember, wicked Eduardo Cianneli was one of those. He very nearly caused the demise of Cary Grant, Victor McLaughlin and Douglas Montgomery Jr. during their service in India. Irving Jaffe, a better man who masqueraded as Gunga Din, valiantly gave his life to thwart the minions of Kali. I eschew and deny an intent to imply that Kali resembles anyone we know.
As ever,
