I was feeling jocular and didn't read or spell check. And right here I emphasize I was joking around, not complaining. <slap> me! > > > > > even though quite terse! :-) > Really?

And you replied in a friendly fashion. But there was some understanding in there (IMO) that the terseness also served another unstated purpose. I guess not. NP for me. Just say shut up. No issues with that here. If you want me to quit joking around with you, say it. I take no offense. Based on your previous though, I felt comfortable wise-cracking and that you might get a chuckle. > > I believe the word used on my evaluations when I worked tech support > was "abrupt". > Why say in 19 words what I can say in 3? In my reviews it was "Sheesh! You're sure hard to manage, but we don't want to lose you!". They didn't understand there is no subordinate relationship in my world... which they chose to enter! There are those responsible for decision-making and directing my activities and those responsible for making sure they are well-informed before those decisions are made and directions issued. >>:-) > > hmmm what other excuses can I come up with..... > > I love how we're attributing speach patterns and behavior to urls these days.... I'm attributing them to a poster based mostly on my *imagination* (which is *much* more entertaining than the reality we can observe) and a pattern observed over time were it is imagined the poster has made great effort to conduct himself properly in the face of hideous laziness that costs the time of others. I imagine he has hidden the angst quite well and I am "anthropomorphizing" the URL, sparked by those things. By posting as I do, I hoped to both joke around and leave a not-so-subtle reminder to the OP that he's wasting others' time. And he can't gripe about your post. It was correct and to the point. And I like to remind in a way that is friendly in tone. I enjoy a "friendly" place and have no issues with joshing. And will stop if asked or told to do so. -- Bill 1G1G
