Debra,
I sent in my 2 cents on this to the list yesterday but for some reason it
never posted (Wally K was copied so maybe he received it). I know it might
sound strange and it's probably that Irish part of me that sometimes looks
through rose-colored glasses, but I also thought that the out of left field
post from Thom was directed at Marcel and not you. Nothing against Marcel,
but I could not imagine Thom or anyone calling you a bitch. Thom's
previously posts had been pretty gentle and it just didn't add up. I though
he was trying in his own way to give you support. I do think Thom should
have stepped up and answered for himself promptly after it appeared,
especially after you asked him publically for an explanation.
