I learn my lessons every day, Scottie, every day. As most of you know, I am indeed usually kidding around. Cheeks chock-full, crammed to capacity with tongue. But my kidding often has a point to it--both in the sense of a purpose and an edge--that I am loathe to soften or to have go unheeded in these stretches of reconcilliation. Though I am, to my surprise, "touched," as we say, by many of these casual defenses, I think it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge that I am not always altogether within the boundaries of goodwill. There are people on this list who are far nicer and more accepting than I. -- Matt Kozusko mkozusko@parallel.park.uga.edu
