Now now Rikona. You are way too new to this list to be chastising
anyone, ...yet. Mandrake refugee that you are, you will learn that this
list has it's share of idiosyncrasies, but abject politeness ain't one
of them. Plus, you completely missed the "Karl Show". 

So when someone mentions possessing a skill level, as a reference, that
they don't seem to actually possess, then the group Hijacked
Intelligence Syndrome kicks in and the offender gets a group hug of
sorts. You know, the kind of hug that is a head lock, while your face is
being punched, sorta hug. 

Just like family. :) Ric
