I am selfish by enabling Harm to do work that I would have to myself
otherwise.  I thought that was rather obvious.

Interesting.  I had no problem interpreting Harm's message as a
compliment to me.  And if I state that he does quite more of the same he
is complimenting me for, it becomes something opposite?

I guess I am too much of a mathematician to understand this.  Yes, I
know about wraparound arithmetic, but I would not know how to apply it
here.
