I probably shouldn't be reading this right now as I am frustrated with

mean by this? I am fairly certain I don't understand what you are trying to
say here. Keep in mind, I am autistic, and I sometimes have a bad habit of
misunderstanding one's intentions if those intentions are not absolutly
clear, and I also have a bad habit of blowing things out of proportion in
such situations, especially if I am tired and frustrated, as I am now.

I feel for ya hon.

Saying "Funny how you show up, and I've got Ku Kluxers on my mind." Just
doesn't sit well with me... sounds a lot like "Speak of the devil..."

No, it was not meant that way at all -- I did not mean to impugn your 
character by associating you with the Ku Klux Klan.  I did mean to associate 
you with the Ku Klux Klan eventually, however, and if that impugns your 
character, e-mail me privately off-list and I'll be as helpful as I can in 
explaining.

Yeah, if you read what I say out of context I'm spouting gibberish.  Just 
think of me as a troll, or a spammer, or a performance artist strutting and 
fretting his hour upon the stage.  That is, pay no attention to the man 
behind the curtain [reference to  clothing as a metaphor for the mind behind 
the words -- you're a programmer, you should at least understand pointers to 
pointers].
