Hello el,
It is appearing that I was the victim of a little projection on your part.
I hope you don't mind if I resent that. You have a technical problem with
Richard and you take it out on the whole ORSC. I just happened to be there,
with the wrong message, at the wrong time, and you dump on me. I hope you
don't mind my returning the favor someday. This is patently unfair.
I expected better of you Doc. We've always gotten along pretty good in the
past. Why the heart-burn now?
