No need to be calling each other names, I think there are enough insults coming from both sides.

Re: Howard Kwok & Jerome Aguirre from Tour St Christ at Harvard
By the way, a Bordeaux trip doesn't have to be a whole week and it doesn't have to involve visits to a crazy number of chateaux.
I think we can do something a little shorter and a little more liesurely.
