Samantha, all it means is that you and I disagree politically. This

The HO and MO are in upper case because thats how I
pronounce it. The rest are in lower case because as you
know that is the way I pronounce it: HOly schlaMOly.

Mutual respect we have Samantha. My accidental post
has absolutely NAda to do with your being female. It
has only to do with political views, which as you know
we differ widely. In our offlist posts we dont go
there. {8^D

OK I am doing that here. I owe you and everyone else on the
list an appology for accidentally posting a private matter between
me and Harvey Newstrom. He and Lee Corbin are friends
of me in the non-virtual world. I was hoping to get Harvey
to come out to Taxifornia and stay at my place for a few
days, and when he does, have a party that would include
Lee. And you too Samantha, for that matter. So I was
hoping to get Lee and Harvey to patch it up and get along,
which they have done. (I just heard from Lee.) I suspected
this could work, since both of these guys are fine gentlemen,
both very intelligent, fine company indeed.

It never occurred to me that HOly schlaMOly could be a dig.
It is said to emphasize a point. How is that a dig?

What is just a cigar? Im lost, Doug.
In any case, here is my humble apology for the accidental
post. Henceforth I would prefer not to refer to it, for any
time you see anything from me in all lower case, it means
it is intended as an offlist. So that was a private note that
my blundering finers accidentally posted to the world. {8-[
Samantha, as I posted to you offlist, you already know Im
cool with your views and everything else about you.
We do disagree on politics. I accept that, and apologize
to you. I hope I didnt cause you embarrassment. spike
