Yes, Rhonda, you will remember that I suggested that we start a mutual
admiration society to counter the back-patting that we have seen from
Matthew, Dave, and Luke, so let me begin it by commending you for your
response to Dave. Dave's postings have caught him with his foot in his
mouth enough times that he is surely suffering from hoof and mouth disease
by now.
By the way, Matthew, just remember what I said in another posting to you. A
little sarcastic humor can keep a discussion from bogging down in boredom.
