    I won't go back and retrieve some of the overwhelming words of kindness 
poured out on me by List members clearly practicing their own version of 
friendliness, but honestly Jim, who are you trying to fool? I suppose I am 
now being "troublesome", and filtering is easier than admitting this, but 
when Weary said those things I thought he was being diplomatic. Weary's 
"silly" is one of the more harmless examples.  Being upset over the word 
"silly" makes this cry for List pleasantness look silly... Honestly.
