"venom":

Sorry if I misinterpreted. I'm absolutely sure that if we were trading observations in person, perhaps over a few beers, everything would be pleasant. Both of us (all of us) have written things that may "read" more nastily on the page than they would have been heard in person. Should we have employed more "smiley's" and "LOL"s per paragraph?

I agree absolutely with Peter about the "cheating" red herring, by the way.
