Terry, of Abbey-Roads2, has a post up which answers my recent question regarding the degrees of humility. When we were talking about it in the combox the other day, I didn’t even know what the third degree of humility was, which I jokingly said I was practising. Well, now I know, and I know them all. Once more, and probably not for the last time, it has been brought home to me that I should be careful what I ask for. 

Thank you, Terry.  (I think).
