I didn't see it like that at all. I've corresponded quite a bit with
Steve, both on and off list, and have a lot of respect for him. I've
always felt we could discuss anything in any manner and still be friendly
and mannerly about it. If I came off sounding tweaked, _I_ apologize.

We all have opinions, and I think that's a good thing. Of course I think
mine are more correct - but don't we all?

I didn't think you said that nor implied it. I simply wanted to clarify
the matter lest anyone misunderstand either of us. You say potato, I say
spuds, he says stove top stuffing, and Dan spells 'em all with a trailing
"E".

Steve, I think we can wait until next week before we get out the dueling
pistols, n'est-ce pas? In the meantime, laissez les bons temps rouller.
