Here we are often forced to eat spotted owl in such a situation. (Hey,
environmentalists, I'm kidding! And it's been months since my last roast
eagle....)

but I almost always wash my hands before typing messages for the list.

And I, too, was once a "newbie" on the lists, I have asked my share of
questions (and was/still am grateful for answers from others on the list),
and I have even inserted my foot into my mouth a couple of times. (For
example, my attempts to promote the construction of a four-Herald-engined
dragster met with surprising resistance amongst fellow SOLers many years
ago. I'm still smarting over that one!)
So, Larry, you are forgiven. No hard feelings. But try it again and you're
off to the Friends of Skodas list. ;-)
