Fine. It's not my definition. It's Jack's. All I was
referring to was Sam Spade. He's not screwed. That's all.
That's it. I was not creating an over-arching definition
covering the slave eaten by crocs on the ancient shore of the
Nile all the way up to Ken Bruen's last wet dream. You have a
noir definition that you're happy with? I'm so tickled for
you. All I was responding to was Sam Spade. Even though I
think you're wrong and you un-define by muddying the water.
But I no longer care . . .
