Janet...Since this went public, I'll respond in kind.
I'm going to guess that one or more of the factors were in effect
when you wrote this response.
1) You'd had a really bad day. For that I'm truly sorry. When my
girlfriend has one of these days, I send flowers, and she does the
same for me. The look on the flower delivery person's face is
priceless when I show up at the front desk to accept them.
2) You're new here. Please lurke a bit longer so you can understand
this environment.
3) You have a very poor sense of humor. Nothing I can do about that.
4) You have an even worse sense of recognizing sarcasm. See #3
5) You are drinking a great deal of really strong espresso. I
switched to decaf a few weeks ago and it has done wonders for my
disposition.
6) You cannot spell tongue-in-cheek. I understand that Meriam has a
pretty cool online dictionary.
7) I'd rather it had gone private so I could say what I really think.
"Do ya feel luckY? Well, do ya ****?"
Please do so next time so that we can discuss this at the level of
your response
