Mean Spirited? You? You should have Snippy tell you about my "attitude" some time. I've always enjoyed your posts and comments, lots of time you put into words what I was thinking. Thanks for the support you've given us over the years, it has been appreciated.
Let me say that I have admired your prose style. It is remarkably compact and the words well chosen.
I have to work pretty hard to keep mine from totally going berserk.
