: : The thought crossed my mind that someone originally asked something about a cheesecake or something, but thats drift for you. Personally I don't find any sin in having an ego, its normal. I also beleive arrogance is fine if you can back it up, seems to be some folks apologise for their own success, we're just having fun, at least I am.

: : So wheres your bakery (and no ego ok!) and hows it going.?
: Relax Gerard, we love you.
: Have you ever heard of somebody professing to actually liking fruitcake in America? Yet it is the # ONE selling cake in this country. Just remember, we love you. You are probably a very interesting person in your own right. Definitely "Not a Bore" like many others. Take your Prozac and chill out. You have a lot to give, just cut down on the fruit.
: Love,

Can't say I've even seen real fruitcake here, if the English version is authentic then the two are nowhere near each other, to me neither should be eaten. Better to drill a hole . place a length of string and hang from the nearest tree for sparrows.
I've got an idea to write a book about food critics in America, seems to me there is quite a few wankers in the bunch who need exposing, some I've met are fine but others need airing out.
