And I may as well confess something else to you super-serious Ron! A number of my posts to you pver the months were in jest and fun (or at least certain parts of them), and it was fun doing them, Hmmm.... Is Andy Kaufman your idol? When only the prospective "humourist" get the joke, it's seldom recognized as humour. Especially when that humour is derived at everyone else's expense. As someone who is often admonished by my wife for my biting sense of humour and oftimes a seeming lack of sensitivity to others feelings, I have personal experience in this area. The internet is not conducive to conveying complex irony or humour heavily salted with subtle sarcasm or self-deprecation. That is why I use :0), <VBG>, or LOL as a indicator to readers that I'm speaking in jest. So I guess this means that in your next post to me that you'll be apologizing for what I perceived as your personally attacking me??
