Best regards,
Enrique,

I saw the wink, but took it to apply to the general membership as I thought was your intent, what I didn't realize until I had pretty much written my post, as is evidenced in the last paragraph, was that Simon had created the thread. By that time, my focus was elsewhere and I had dismissed the wink that you had actually put there for Simon's benefit, apparently.

Thanks for the explanation. And for anyone that didn't know who Simon was, they should now if they read this thread.

My apologies...something that happens in an on-line forum when individual interpretation of what is seen changes the relevance of the post as it pertains to the context intended by the original poster.

Clarity, word selection, and placement of punctuation, and 's is very important on every thread except "Changing the Subject within a Thread," where the point is to do as much "punishing," disruption of the thread content as possible, and without any clarity; just supreme innuendo, and over the top allusion and misconception.
