Oh, no, far from it. I actually interpreted it as more of a probe, 
tossing the bait to see if I'd take it ;-)

That's why I asked.

Although the "Does that help?" would still have been interpreted by me 
as inflammatory, as if you were interpreting what I said as calling you 
an idiot when I didn't mean that.

At any rate it would have been a mistake to think I was picking a fight 
with you. Groin waggling is hardly productive on a mail list and just 
makes other productive members of the list just think of you as a 
massive one, reducing the chances they'll help when I'm soliciting 
assistance. So...we're good?
