Hey, hey, hey.  Just trying to inject a (very) little humor into an
uneccessary argument.  You're right.  I think Marcel acknowledges
that you're right.  I certainly think that you're right.  However, the
vehemence of your response was off-base.  Period.  Had you responded
in a lighter manner, only to be attacked by Marcel, _then_ I would say
that your rather heated response would have been required and
appropriate.  As it was, Marcel suggested (a poor suggestion, without a
doubt) something and you came down on him with a wrath and fury
that, I would say, was uncalled for.

Anyhow, this little thread looks like it is a bit too heated for my
tastes.  I simply think that you could have told Marcel why his suggestion
was wrong _before_ you picked him up and body slammed him.  No
need to be so defensive.
