bboy_mn responds:

I've got no problem with a knobbly stick having an nice francy knob on
the end. The point I was making is that the fancy knob on the end
doesn't make it a 'knobbly' stick. It's the many knobs on the shaft
that make it so. Not that it's of earth shaking importance. I just
thought I would throw my spare change in.

just a thought.
