Yes you were.

You have many talents*, but credible dissembling isn't among them.

I didn't see anything in Thomas's posts that were either joshing or curmudgeonly. Therefore, it was appropriate to respond uncurmudgeonly and with a serious tone comensurate with his serious tone

no--because you were talking about him, while he was talking about the president. One is not obliged to be joshingly curmudgeonly about the world, only about one's threadmates. go read the FAQ.

I don't find any fault with Bush for surrounding himself with people whose decision-making process and advice he trusts. Just the opposite, I believe that's the mark of a leader.

Agreed. I just wish it was question of supplementation rather than substitution.

I don't want anyone to think I was trying to be snippy. I wasn't. And I don't think they were snippy. But that depends on how each of us measures "snippy."

hmmm, now we seem to be back to the previous resident of the office...
