Hey John..
I suspect that in a medium such as e-mail, where there is an absence of
the usual visual cues found in "normal" conversation, that jokes and
sarcasm are easy to misunderstand... For some reason I seem to "set
people off" when I least expect it, so I guess I need to be more
careful. I certainly don't want to be responsible for squelching
discussion on the list, as you suggested the net result of my exchange
with Joe might have done.
Thanks,
John
