Apologies (sorta) to all list members for my reacting to what was apparently a joke (not a very funny one at that.)

The moral here is:

1. Do NOT shoot from the hip in your posts to this group (this includes a severe admonition to the List manager!)

2. NEVER make jokes, most especially sarcasm, on the list. This is virtually guaranteed to be taken wrongly by someone. I have commented on the damaging use of humour here before and it's frequent disastrous consequences. This is particularly tough for me as I tend to be a natural wise ass....(Sorry for language!)

3. Do not attack anyone publicly on this forum until you first lodge a complaint with me, The Supreme List Commander. If nothing else, it will allow time to intercede and new shades of truth may emerge!

Thanks
