But you are the only one that actually believes it.
Andy's reply to your post indicates that there are at least two people on this list who believe it.
Er, Andy? Could you confirm something for me?
JDG told me off-list that he is sure you were only kidding when you said "I consider it an ENTIRELY reasonable statement". So, were you or were you not "just kidding"? (Personally, I don't think you were.)
And why would others have made statements similar to mine, if they didn't believe it themselves?
JDG didn't have an answer to that...
And now, time to get MailWasher up and running -- no more off-list replies from JDG to on-list messages. Sorry John, guess you'll have to reply on-list from now on.
