It's probably clear to anyone who's still following this subthread that I did not write said post. I'm responding to my own post rather than to the -- I'm not sure whether to call it a forgery or a demonstration of spoofing skills or what -- because that post (forgery/spoof) wasn't delivered to me by my news server. I know about it only because someone else replied and quoted parts of it. Whether that means it hasn't arrived yet, or it did arrive and was discarded according to whatever rules they employ, I don't know. I was curious enough to check Google's archives, and couldn't find it by message ID, but fortunately searching on *my* message ID found a thread including the forgery/spoof. Anyway, I think it's past time for me to stop participating in this thread; it seems to be going in some direction I'd prefer to avoid. I'll say for the record that in previous posts replying to those from Steve Erwin, anything that came across as disparaging was not meant that way (e.g., when I say "apparently I'm not expressing myself well", that's what I mean, rather than some subtle innuendo about the reading comprehension of someone I don't know). It's been -- interesting. -- B. L. Massingill ObDisclaimer: I don't speak for my employers; they return the favor.
