And why would I then choose to write screeds of boring economics bullcrap on Catallaxy for fun?

Don't let me down, Fedya! I'm going to "A 1930s English Country House Hunting Party" themed soiree out in the sticks Sat and staying overnight so it rather depends on how much gin, pheasant, servant-beating and inappropriate relations with the gameskeeper I have indulged in.
