Bill-
Sorry for jumping to conclusions. Given the recent number of
posts strongly objecting to my comments on "what's a Land
Rover," "youth," et al, I assumed you were simply continuing
the "Marin's posts are long, boring, and objectionable" thread(s).
I'm not normally too sensitive to criticism, but this whole thing has
been going on WAY too long (mostly my fault, I guess), so when
I saw your Swedish Chef thing I figured, great, here's another person
trying to nail me for being overly verbose and offensive. Combine
that with a bad day at the office (the idiots in charge of computers
around here are constantly "improving" our software, with the result
that you spend a day undoing their improvements to get the things to
work right again), and you get the things I said. I hope that explains
why I over-reacted, although it doesn't excuse it. Someone I respect
a lot who used to work here told me once that you really have to be
careful with e-mail, because like a bullet from a gun, you can't call
it back once you hit SEND. His advice was to wait a day before
sending a strong reply to someone else's message, as things might
look different in the morning. It is excellent advice, and I didn't
follow it this time. For that I apologize.
