Kat, we have known each other a long time. I would have thought you would have known I wasn't talking about Cranky Yanky, but those that post looking for the response. I will assume that you are just suffering from hurt feelings and that is why you have jumped me. But the last comment in your post smacks of a persecution complex. You started the thread, and you have been here long enough to know what that means. Think about it, cause I don't see why you would snap at someone who agrees with you more than not. And who considers you a friend.

And if anyone were to modify anything that I ever say, I would leave without notice. Not a threat there, just a statement of principle.

As far as Cranky Yankee goes, he seems like a very nice man to me. I would love to get inside his head about square rigged ships.
