It was on screen as Bond, in a dark, moody, smouldering form. Only diehards can really pick it up.

Oh, no, I am not a diehard in your eyes....how do I become a diehard? Do I have to take exams, submit to questioning?

It was meant to be a light hearted comment. For diehard read obsessive.

I'm not obsessive about Bond. That's not a bad thing either. That obsessiveness can get you into trouble. Bond to me is escapism. When done right, it's downright perfect. When it's bad, it's along the lines of your hero, Dalton.

In other words realistic and unescapist - what I like, instead of unrealistic and escapist - what you like.

Apple and oranges. You have yours, I have mine. That's what makes us different. I really wanted to thank you, Bondpurist, before I signed off. You've made my week.
