I'm sorry my post came across that way. It was intended as humor
but after reading it in your quote I can see how it does look very
insulting. For that I fully apologize. My posts have a tendency to come
out much harsher than I ever intend due to my inability to type well, if
at all. It's really difficult to be in this industry with hands that are
crippled and useless. It is costing me a number of acquaintances (MichaelK
hasn't replied to me in forever).
Again, I *am* sorry and I will stop posting replies in this list.
Joe
