I did not consult Ed and ask him he he wanted to answer the question or not.
It's just that I now see a pattern in your "new" style, and I find it funny.
That wasn't really an attack, Chris. That's a parody. I like parody. That's a
kind of humour I just can't resist. Relax...
I read this forum everyday, and sometimes I know in advance what a guy is going
to say. Some messages sometimes look like parodies, but after a closer look you
realize they are real.
I'm sure some of my own messages look like this sometimes (often?).
Don't lose your sense of humour. The matter we are discussing here does not look
that serious, at least at first glance. But you are here to dig out the naked
truth, isn't it? So go on ahead...
