Apart from the fact that this sentence does not make any sense, on account
of "Flaming" (I assume?) being an adjective, I would rather not be forced to
decipher such terms of dubious propriety when it is clear than any number of
inoffensive alternatives would suffice: e.g. extremely difficult,
notoriously difficult, mind-bendingly difficult, etc...  :o)

Re: David vs Goliath (below) - What a pleasant manner in which to welcome to
the list a new contributor (whom I know to be an extremely dedicated member
of a non-sponsored band playing at the highest level).

Great to see the enthusiasm shining through! (I think I must be in a
different boat because mine is not at all excremental).
