Oh, I understood that much, Leej (and Garg), and it is much appreciated and accepted...and I think I get the meaning of the caution: I do tend to let it all hang out a bit here--I have posted my address at least once, and information about my family, my work site, etc., and should be more careful. But beyond that, I would appreciate an acknowledgement that the putdown is not always appreciated as a form of humor, and that a direct approach is usually the best way to communicate something important, particularly when it's not coupled with condescension.
