Actually, Little Hawk, I suspected Bernard's comments were directed my way. Maybe we can share?

I think I got a little heavy-handed defending my question from the description "dumb"--I apologize.

I posted this with a mental direction perhaps similar to yours, thinking not of the humor angle (such as a stand-up comic using the question as a one-liner) but of the information angle, figuring I was helping provide knowledge to the inquisitive. When the thread took the direction it did, I was thinking "What's going on--can't these people read my mind and see my intent?" (Of course, in my case, it's not read it so much as look at the pictures. Yuk yuk.) Nevertheless, calling the humor I've inflicted on the Mudcat "dumb" would probably be a kindness. I just hope I'm not expected to provide answers to all the questions on this thread! (BG)
