Thanks, Joe. You're too kind. In this case, anyway. I actually hadn't
attained to the entire subtlety of Roy's humor (or humour, in case Lloyd's
reading, or readiung). So, instead of actually being cleveur, I had to let my
disingenous carefulness take over for me. Sort of a variation on the Proverb
"even a fool will be thought wise if he holds his tongue." I tend to drool
when I hold my tongue for longue, so I usually opt for being cryptic, whilst
stabbing at clever. I should have realised from his earlier comments that Roy
is too smart to just bumble into Godwinhood.
Nonetheless, it turned out to be a fairly decent, if unintentionial, troll.
At least I got an "Ah, bloody hell" out of him. Sorry, Roy -- My apologies.
So, what is it - El Nino / La Nina? - that's making everyone so thin-skinned
these days? The general difficulty surrounding most misdiscussions of things
PC (both types)? In my case, it's a combination of recovering from an
enjoyable but exhausting family reunion, raising teenagers, fighting a
woodchuck who's trying to eat my deck, and a hundred other small things you
don't want to know about.
