Oh jbe. I did not take it seriously! I thought my reply was a deft way to disarm a bomb. I couldn't SERIOUSLY entertain the idea that you were lobbing such a characterization at me in earnest. But others who don't know us might take that post at face value, and seen thus it is a mortal insult. Emoticons or no. My reply was crafted in all good humor to show 1) No Hard Feelings. 2) There is value in this place, and my knuckles are luxuriating in a ruler-challenged environment. <insert disarming emoticon here>

The two threads do not compete - they complement. I can chew the fat about regionalisms here. I can go back to your meticulously neat place of bidness and dissert upon weightier matters. I hope there is not even a shred of seriousness to your assertion that I am defecting from the S&G Lab. Because if there is or was - shame on you. <ng>
