No, allie, you're supposed to join in this age-old tradition of pseudo-feuding between skippies and kiwis. It's no fun at all if you just try to remain a pacifist!

And my excuse, well, reason then, Bugsy was that I knew you lived a long way away from civilisation in an either easterly or westerly direction and I just chose the wrong direction. (Now I *am* ducking for cover because I am expecting mortar fire from the feuding cousins in the west as well as the hillbillies in the east. (grin, stir, grin, stir!)
