steve and mike, thanks for reading my original post--it was a joke, a nudge, teasing someone for a habit. i specifically said it, mike, so that you would know it wasn't an attack b./c of your comments about ted. but in a serious vein, as i said, i'd much rather someone typed about what they thought, how they in corporated thinking into their positioning, their argument. i've been subbed to many lists over the years, i've never seen this before and it amuses the hell out of me.
and yoshie, thanks for reading a teasing joke as a slam and burning the bridges irrevocably, when i specifically pointed out that it was a teasing joke. very nice.
