Great! I guess it's not going to be considered a flattery if I refer to you as a sage.
Wow. You did give a good translation to that classical adage of our people: "Ants don’t really love wood…in spite of the appearance…they are only after the wood’s exploitation and eventual destruction." Thank you!
