My passionate earlier response, I apologize for. I was fighting
   phantasms, not what was present.

   I interpreted an attack on the mask system and assumed you
   wished for a formulation of authenticity to replace it with. I
   was mistaken in my assumption. I'm ok with any system that's
   workable, as long as it has some form of non-destructive
   applicability.

   I'll stand by what I've said, but as the magic wand statement on
   my part was flippant and unrelated, feel free to toss it out. I
   apologize for that bit of ridiculousness and also for my tone. I
   believe in a primacy of civility whenever possible and I fail
   that on occasion].
