In the context of an uncommonly verbose author, that surname looked (for a moment) startlingly like that of Garth "I'm one of the few people you'll meet who's written more books than they've read" Marenghi.

Ha! That's excellent! I use `diminish` sometimes, but I've never looked at the source. I love little gems like that. 馃挴

Just looked at his `dotemacs.el`:
> On 2 Apr 1992 in the journal Nature the discovery was reported that
> a giant ancient fungus had been living under the forests of Michigan
> for at least 1,500 years, the oldest and largest living thing on Earth.
> Software could get to be like that, I suppose, and Emacs, incorporating,
> like the fungal thallus, all the the filamentous strands of Emacs Lisp
> that now already thinly web the Earth, is surely a front runner.
> But do not be distracted by such lives. Even the life of Emacs,
> like the life of that fungus, is an ephemerality; to grok life
> one must transcend not only thermospace but cyberspace.
