Glad you found it funny, as I can imagine some would be offended!  I'm not
exactly sure how I might take it, altho since I recognize Paul as a "good
guy" on the group/list, I hope I'd be OK with it, coming from him.

He's absolutely right, tho.  The first time I looked at the name, I
thought for sure we had a spammer on the list!  Luckily I decided to check
the message and see for sure!
