Why thank you Steve. I suppose this will mean you will stop e-mail
bombing my ISP? You will stop using profanity in personal e-mail to me?
You will stop whining that I keep answering YOUR mail to me? You will
stop throwing your Ivy League Lawyers degree at me *L*?
There was nothing personal in my smart-ass remark towards you. Just
syncro owners. Some of my best friends on the list are syncro owners and
they haven't said word one. Why is that? Perhaps my 'ego' comment SHOULD
have been more directed. Only one person took offense and got very nasty
about it. Who was that Steve?
It was a joke. My apologies to all non-ego enhanced syncro owners.
sincerely,
tim o'brien (I am not a comedian and don't play one on the internet)
