Bill,

I'll try to shed a bit of light on Mq's post.

Take a look at this dictionary of Kiwi slang. Scroll down to "root."

I think we've had a trans-cultural failure to communicate between two well-meaning guys. Got all puckerooed in translation. :0

Mq may not have responded immediately because it was about 1 a.m. Kiwi time when he posted. Perhaps he simply went to bed before he saw your post.

Like you, Mq is well-meaning and honorable fellow. It's inconceivable to me that any harm or ill-will was meant.

Not at all.
I actually would like you to pause and reflect. The fact that you think I'm giving you heat and that you attack me for trying to get you to reflect that M DID mention he was making a joke, strikes me as...well...heat on your part. Hello!
I addressed the substance of your post, and that is heat? Well it takes all kinds to make a world.
