Hi John

I prefer the short, clipped version which contains the essence that the longer version has but which exhibits an excess of words. Go with the short one for its brevity and the punch it packs in characterizing the two men. Nicely done, John.

All the best

Chris

John, as always, there are pros and cons. But I think I prefer the short version.

John, I'd go with the short version, too.
