Howard, I'm not on a policing action here, more of a peacekeeper.
Strangely, I believe you were taking a similar action on Sam's behalf. <GG>
As you said, you missed the infraction(s) for which Sam was begging
leniency, but Sam's post was most certainly in jest, and Terri was
just playing the game. <G>
You have to recognize that on THIS list it IS just a game.
We don't have any serious megalomaniacs here except me. Terri criticizes
my grammar regularly and I welcome the input. I'm sure there really ARE
nut cases (other than me) on other lists, but the Grammar Sheriff and
Line Length Constable are both sane and reasonable people doing dirty
jobs that may or may not need to be done. ;-)
I think I didn't step in it or did I ?
