The term “insular” doesn’t come from nowhere.

I used to do a lot of work on the islands just off our Maine coast. On Islesboro, population 566, there used to be a big fuel tank beside the main road onto which someone had graffitied “WHY GOSSIP?”

Indeed.

I’m glad you escaped the gossips’ clutches, Dennett.
