<<But I must point out that your correction to me was also un-Mayberry-like. Using caps (as in WRONG) is universally known to be the same as shouting. Also, comments such as "Wow Garry....I don't know what you're hearing," "Garry was extremely mistaken," and that I "Somehow" mistook Barney's words, are rather insensitive,...... >>

Gary,

You are right and I'm sorry. My meaning was not to be against you but to convey to everyone else in a desperate way that Barney had not said the words that you thought he said. My concern was that NOBODY believed that Barney actually said that and my frustration was toward that. So far as using CAPS and yelling....I know that is normally what that means *if* you type in all-caps for sentences but in the way I was using them it is normally taken to draw attention to certain words when using "plain text" as we do here on the Digest. We can't "bold" letters or use color to draw attention so CAPS help to draw attention to important words.

That said, I did re-read my comments yesterday and I agree that I could have said things MUCH better and in a more Mayberry spirit.
