Dear Tim,

As you have shown yourself to be the promoter-in-chief of the Sinclair
cause,
we will give you honorary para-genetic status  John tells us that
pargenesis
means  'the order in which the constituent minerals in a rock mass
have been
formed' which makes you (and the rest of us) a product of a very rich
gene
pool with the Sinclair gene dominant in colour (red hair and green eyes)
and 
temperament (bloody mindedness bordering on madness).

Para-genetic will appear in the next issue of Collins English Dictionary
in
its new additional meaning.  Google (John's word) will not appear
because,
 having no etymological foundation, it is totally meaningless which
is why
it cannot be found in any standard dictionary. 
 
Generally, I am against the bastardisation of the English language but
accept
the use of new words to satisfy  the needs of the technological age
in which we 
live and in which (the para-genetic) John excels.

Niven, who is also para-genetic to the umpteenth degree, from a rather
alarming
gene pool of  murderers and maniacs, bishops and bigots, saints and
sinners
which makes him at one with the rest of you.    We all
need locking up for the
safety of the populace at large.
