Steve,
From your last post I realized you not aware of or a fan of my attempts
at humor. You must not have been old enough to see the first Saturday
Night Live shows with Rosanne Rosanneadana or you would have realized I
meant do disrespect to Fabricators. I am sorry if you were offended.

Valerie, thanks for the encouragement. I pondered over the "send" button
for a long while. I was not exactly "crushed" but my ego (we all have
one) was dented. I was going to refrain from posting my comments until
the "whopper post". That angered me to the point where I had to left
click the send. That comment was not funny or even tastefully clever. I
can handle and respect contradiction, appreciate productive debate and
enjoy good natured humor. But when it comes to a question of one's
honesty in an industry forum--not cool.
