Ohhhhh, now James, you know darned well that's not what Jon
was saying.  In fact, I've heard NO such thing coming out of
anybody's mouths (er,, fingers) here.  Not even the most
cynical, steel hardened hearted, mean and crotchedy of us.

Ya know, I like your style, kid!  You 've got a sarcastic tone
that is very refreshing!  I mean that very much as a
compliment!   But, I still think no one here is suggesting
such a thaing.

 Heyyy, I thought I told youse!  I wasn't having any "off"
day!  See what you did Jon? Now some people might think I
would have written differently on a non-"off" day.  THanks
alot, you're messing up my reputation!

For You Freshman Netters:  Post at Will!

Well, not a war I'd say, but a lively exchange for sure.  I
don't think people need to be tough, but they do need to
realize that it's not necessary to get all sweaty cause some
don't agree.  There's times to be tough, and times to be
tender....purrrrrr

Sorry, I didn't have time.
Have a good one!
