Terry,

I was also slightly offended by what you said for about 3 seconds (that's what
happens when a person puts a label on others). Then, I realized that you did not
mean it in the way you stated, so I posted the PS. joke about it. That is one of
the main problems with this type of communication mechanism. You cannot always
get the subtle clues that you can with voice and actual in person
communications.
