Chris, I agree, the reply did not fit the situation. Neither did the next
response.
Stu, if you're having a bad day kick the dog! Hopefully he won't take a chunk
out of your ass afterwards. Ron, your reply was just a bit better than Stu's.
I especially liked the real effort you put in your quote "it takes one to know
one". Wow, that was impressive. I'm sure that newcomers to the list are just
waiting for your next contribution. (;-<).
Come on guys, if someone is out of line, let him know about it. But I don't
think you need to question his intelligence, question his reading ability, and
describe him as a sphincter when you do so.
FWIW,
Dave
