Herb,

I was joking and only trying to show some friendly support for Dana.  I
tried to put a smiley with it but it didn't come through.

I actually respect and agree with much of what you say on this forum,
just not with your often demeaning way of saying it.

Warren

Foy, Warren, who in the hell are you? And what have I ever said to, or 
about, you?

That said, I'll say 'nuff said.
