Guys, whatever happened to "turn the other cheek"?

Gary? Don't let it get to you. If you think you're being derided, taunted,
ect., remember that they're only words. Let the other man flame on and make
himself look like an asshole. However, Sean _did_ put smilies, and did
point out that he indeed set the flag that signified that he made the
comment in jest. It just didn't come out that way. I don't believe that
anyone on this list is out to intentionally insult others.

Sean? I have a feeling that your "<sarcasm>" block was just dumping some
free-floating hostility and wasn't specifically directed at Gary-san.
However, that and the smilies don't really matter. I've found that an
appology and official withdrawl of any malign intent, real or intended,
works great in dousing netflames. Miscommunications can and do occur, and
you're going to mess up occasionally. I know, I've made some truly _major_
screw ups that were ultimately not intended to be offensive (Mike Loader
can attest to this).

We do thank you for the entertainment, though. (Munches on popcorn) ^_-
