Bill Cameron, Yes you are right, but what happens is that we get lazy and try to type as little as possible. Well I do anyway. This terseness comes across and in my case is aggravated because, as an engineer, I find writing rather more difficult than those trained in more human fields of endeavor.

So I'll try to do better. I really don't mean to scare people away.

Vixen, Ouch! I can see how that hurt you. Please forgive Max though, he only meant it as a joke. I have found that people in different areas have different rules about April Fool's. Where I was raised, if a situation was challenged, then the prankster had to confess immediately, which Max didn't. I assume he comes from a family where it was 'the thing' to carry on the joke as long as possible. So feel free to chew him out. I told him that there would be a lynching party out for him.

Bert.
