Understood. I left it there quite deliberately. If I'm hot under the
collar, it forces another opportunity to think before posting.

:-) Lots of people here don't think before posting. Or they simply
don't care about the fallout. And there's always some sucker who'll
take the bait the first time it's cast. (I always try to wait a while
before I bite and if I'm lucky, the furor has died down enough that it's
even more pointless to get involved.)

hide it.
