Heh. "Rich" is high on my list of words that set off the bullshit
meter.
Not to say that the word doesn't have legitimate uses; even "flat"
can actually mean something if used correctly. But "rich" is pretty
much second only to "nice" in being a sign that the writer doesn't
actually have anything to say.
