So I suppose then that you could imagine my surprise when I opened his post
and read what I thought I was reading.

It's interesting, but not unusual I guess, that some folks would find his
intended meaning (murder from ambush) less bothersome than the meaning I
initially inferred from his post.

At any rate, I evidently failed to process Frank's post, to which Mike was
responding, so I wound up thinking 'Vanagon traps' was some kind of oblique
joke about Chris using Vanagons as traps/bait for people- which then made
some (odd) sense with what else he seemed to be saying given my
understanding of the term (I didn't know it had the other meaning at the
time- I looked it up). He (Mike) was apparently talking about the Vanagons
themselves being the target of the action in question, which makes the whole
thing just that much more surreal, whichever way you choose to look at it.

Finally, I had intended that to be a pmail response to Mike but I obviously
mis-addressed it to the list, out of habit I suppose.

There's probably some lesson in communication and perspective to be had here
but right now I'm too damn tired to think about it anymore.

Cya,
Robert
