But anyway thanks, and may I ask a small favor? That you go easy on
the insults (to me) for the time being? I realize I said deprecating
remarks by total strangers miles away don't affect me much, but it
doesn't mean they are pleasant, and they stopped being funny at least
to me a while ago. I was under the impression that humorousity
(humorousness?) was the main criterion for postings in this group,
although there have certainly been many that are not from people who
aren't me.
