Lee, please don't judge <who?> so quickly: I don't think that <who?>
was claiming that you were interested (having curiosity, fascination, or
concern) in the TEFLON TOPIC, but only that you have an interest (right,
claim, share, involvement, or participation) in it. I probably have an
interest in _lots_ of things that I'm not interested in, including
(perhaps to my detriment) the TEFLON TOPIC, whatever that is.
<who?>, this may point out that a *brief* message pointing out to people
what their interest is in the TEFLON TOPIC may generate more interest in
it.
Cheers,
Kennita
