In fact, he is a deeper and more interesting author and historical character when one knows about his flaws.

Of course.  That goes without saying.

You have certainly displayed your own depth and interest as a historical character in this thread.

Sorry to hear that.  I have keys, cash, and all kinds of good stuff in mine.

I left my wallet at home. :shrugs:
