Lest anybody else missed it, I will take this opportunity to
clear something up.  In my recent post which bothered you, I was
making a joke (perhaps too subtle without the smileys), in which
I feigned offense, not at being a tub-o-lard, but at being
classed with Nick.

Looking back, I kinda wish I hadn't, as I don't really know Nick
beyond his on-line persona and what various people have to say
about him; but at the time, I couldn't resist my overly-clever
attempt at humor.
