Amusing, Robert, but Vishumenon’s epi-epilogue is revealing too. For there he writes this (giving an insight in why he bothers to write about SSB at all):
Having read the draft, a friend asked me: “Why are you flogging a dead horse?”
I said : “This Horse lives in the minds of many devotees, including my wife.”
