Hi Jay,

He gave good arguments. You, however, did not.

I was out of line here. I apologize to Michael. I don't think he
took offense, but if he did I genuinely regret it.

Didn't have to: you didn't address anything other than personal or
peripheral stuff.

They were in 1995. Back when the first one went online. That was
too cool for me to express.

No, I think it just proves that saying the same stupid joke three
times doesn't make it funny. Doesn't mean I am a dilettante
network operator. Just means I'm not funny. ;-)

Yeah, I have a sharp tongue too. And I am a dillettante. And =
everything
I say is just so cute and precious. And I am Wrong.

I'm with you on this, for sure. If you want to address me off-list
please feel free.
