How well does your tree perform?

This is Ben Pfaff's tree we're talking about. I wouldn't be
surprised if it were currently starring on Broadway.

But his ideas arose from looking at your stuff,

Whose ideas? I'm not aware that Richard Heathfield (or Dann
Corbit) has a connection to scapegoat trees.

But goats have a long association with trolls, and Mr Straatman shows
all the hallmarks, hence his introduction to my shiny new killfile.

For the record, I claim no prior art whatsoever on scapegoat trees -
indeed, I'd never even heard of them until Ben first raised the subject
here a few weeks ago.
He informed you of the variety of tree you had.

Keep the British end up and pass me seven counties. If anyone asks why,
would you mind being a scapegoat?
