Bob!  Despite the fact that I can be tarred by the same brush when it comes
to abuse, the essence of what I wrote in response to one of Lee's posts -
who seemed to me to be going down a path remarkably similar to the one that
you're now treading - is that unless there's a firm objective in throwing
around gratuitous insults, (whether intended as humour or not), then don't
do it.  You baited J-M - in a post to 'Confucio':  And are now taking
offence and getting set to escalate the abuse because he responded in
kind???????

It may be time for a deep breath and a slow count to ten on all our parts?
And don't anyone waste time responding to this.  It'll be a pointless
exercise 'cause I ain't going to play! :-)
