It was a small bit of what was intended to be humor. Nothing more, nothing less, didn't know it would spark some f@#% flamewar from people lacking a humerus. How about everyone just shut the h#@$ up unless they just plain answer the exact question and get on topic then. Obviously conversation and humor are things that are supposed to be banned here since it was just a little jibe not meant to spark ANYTHING other than just a "lighten up a little". Maybe Ubuntu also means too much damn starch in your shirts. Thanks for turning the message boards into yet another usenet, people. Sorry to everyone who was so damn offended at such a minor offense. I didn't realize the community was so thin skinned and easily riled up over something that to me was so minor yet so many words now must be wasted to appease everyone's ego. Maybe I'll apologize with something that sounds more like an apology later when I simmer down myself after seeing what a whiny elementary school playground this list seems to be turning into. </blockquote> Methinks you are responding to the wrong message, friend! Humor is difficult to convey in emails. That's why *I* have a ;-) in my message. And you know that a humerus has nithing to do with humor, right? Frankly, I think you're overreacting. <div class="moz-signature">-- Pete Holsberg Columbus, NJ Maxim for the Internet Age: You can't teach an old mouse new clicks... </div> </body> </html>
