I am pretty tightly wound, aren't I? I realize that you meant this as
sarcasm, but you got to realize that sarcasm is different on "paper". I
am a VERY sarcastic person, but sarcasm only really works via the spoken

know how you feel, my apologies. Let's shake and make up...or we can
fight to the death :)
