Worm -
If that's the case, then I owe both you and Wingfoot an apology - I
usually check my facts better than that, but it's been "common
knowledge" since January that you were one of the "excommunicants". A
fine illustration of the value of "common knowledge" - and a great
example of the hazards of the word "ASS-U-ME". One of the Ten
Commandments of Warriordom is "Thou shalt NEVER assume" - but don't
expect me to fall on my sword over it. However, I will hereby formally
apologize to both you and Wingfoot for my assumption and my
overstatement (or was that understatement) of your condition. :-)
Hang in there, my friend - it's always good to hear your smiling voice.
Walk softly,
Jiim
