List- Everything is fine by me. I just gave that #@&*#!!, Brain Baylis, a flaming email that he won't forget anytime soon. I don't think he's gonna mess with me anymore!! Only one thing is from now on, I am going to let somebody else defend Dirty Ernie's choice of logos. cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT

First, I must humbly apologize to Dave Anderson of MT for an overetheusiastic reply to his question of possibly a typo regarding the term Flower or Club. Part of that was supposed to be funny. I was in an odd mood yesterday, halfway between euphoria and frustration. I apologize for going over the top.

It seems clear at this point that it may be more a flower in Ernestos' mind (although it seems strange to me) and that the two are pretty much interchangable in Italy. That interview did not give me that impression, but Chucks' additional information makes it much more clear. The club or now more correctly FLOWER, has apparently nothing to do with Ernesto having a fetich for Bridge.

I stand corrected by Steven Maaslands, Dave Anderson, Charles Andrews, and Chuck Schmidt and humbly beg your collective pardon for my outburst. I don't know if my tirade made it to the whole list, but my apologies to everyone else as well.

As much as I'd like to stay in the "it's clubs" camp, I will have to officially register as a member of"it's flowers" side, as of today. Thanks you guys for making it clear. Obviously many people know a lot more about almost everything than I do. I'm always ready to stand corrected. Next time, before I stick my foot in my mouth, I'll check to make sure I haven't stepped in dog poop first.
