Spike,
Thanks for clearing it up. That is what I thought. I still am
not happy that you talk about me behind my back apparently
differently than you do to my face. But you owned up to some of
that, which I do appreciate.
I really do enjoy exchanges and interactions with you and I hope
the reverse is true despite our disagreements. In spite of our
disagreements, I would never think of making the equivalent
remark about you. Maybe guys just project "being catty" onto
women, eh? :-)
