Curtis -
I can understand everything except the Wagner and "A Walk In The Woods".  
Those two (especially together) truly constitute self-flagellation.  I 
apologize for driving you to this extreme.  I only meant to drive you to 
drink  :-)))

Yep.

Yep.

Uh - I'm confused - were we arguing?  About what?

Uh - Curtis?  This is a debility?


>I do not apologize to those of you ROTFL. Philistines!

Oh dear - I'm afraid it would never have worked out between us then.
I didn't know you were prejudiced against ROTFL Philistines
:-))

In any case, to answer your question - I was "saving you for later".  But 
now that you've escaped intact, it only proves the truth of my  philosophy 
"Life is short - eat dessert first"  :-)))

Have a good day anyway.

Walk softly,
Jim
