but I don't know you to sport a beard? The rest is something I can
feature though!
I miss your ur-signature: " get off my lawn <fistshake>! "
This whole line of observation seems somewhat like a simple
point-example of the broader idea that nothing (and no-one) exists in
isolation, everything is part of a larger ecology, and every role, no
matter how absurd nor humble contributes to the milieu.
I suspect even the lowly dung-beetle imagines him(her)self to be a
(ig?)noble apex predator!

PS. I DO have a gray beard and it is more often flecked with my lunch
than spittle, but I do recognize the image you paint in the mirror...
now "get off my lawn!"
