 Nah, no hurt feelings, that bit above was
 meant as mock indignation. You know, as in
 humor? At least I hope it came across as humor.
 I think there was another additional bit that
 you left out that was supposed to be the punch
 line.
 
 Since I post to the echos infrequently, but
 usually email various folk who are used to what
 I think of as my sense of humor, I tend to
 forget to add the smileys. That whole packet of
 posts about who was first was meant in fun.
 
 I suppose I should pay more attention to the
 smiley conventions than I do. Liable to start an
 inadvertent heated Abbot & Costello "Who's on
 first" type exchange.
 
 It was me who was first, btw. [g]
