DAVEH: I have no idea of what you just tried to say, Perry. It seems to me I either
am doing something that irritates you or not....which is it???

DAVEH: ???? How have I changed? I can't quite figure out how you manage to confuse
me with every statement you are now making about my purpose for being here related to
my actions. Though I may have my blinders on, I sure don't understand what I am
now doing differently. Any other TTers want to comment?

DAVEH: LOL......I am amazed at what you are saying in this post, Perry. Now that I
think about it, there is one more reason I enjoy TT (though I am not here specifically
for this reason)......and that is for the entertainment value! Sometimes TTers
say some pretty interesting things........and, I think your reluctant comments to be
politically correct in this post are about as interesting as anything I have yet seen
on TT!!! ROTFLOL
BTW......I am not saying that to offend you. As a moderator, I assume you have
enough insight to understand why I am finding you so funny today.
