It is all very understandable when you realize that Tim Ingram is the founder of a new religion: Fundamental Sponsonism. All his statements then fall into a familiar human pattern, duplicated every day all over the world. Mantra-like repetition of simple phrases that induces a hypnotic state. Death to all blasphemers. Zero tolerance of criticism. The Sponson giveth and the Sponson taketh away; blessed be the name of the Sponson. In fact, I have seen persons on this list afraid even to say the name in vain: they write "sp*ns*n," as I did in the subject line. There is probably no hope of changing this. Just be thankful that Tim is not in charge. We would all be wearing sponsons in the bathtub, even in the rain.
