I find it interesting that you wrote "parenthetically" inside of parenthesis...

Did you get permission from the Minister of Redundancy Minister for that?

Subject: Re: Commentary on the seven words

I'd like to apologize to EVERYONE .... if even one of you thinks that this was intended to be a flame!

This was nothing but COMMENTARY on an attitude that is prevalent among people who hold support knowledge when approached by people who need 
help.   I'm not immune myself -- when one of my end users calls and asks 
how to delete all clients East of the Mississippi, I ALSO take a moment to 
ask what it's about.   I just take a split second to try to remind myself 
that I design the software, I don't dictate who uses it or for what 
purpose.   It was just a commentary about something we all give into once 
in a while and nothing more.

(Parenthetically, if anyone actually thought what I wrote was an actual FLAME .... all I can say is "Man, you need to unplug and get OUT a bit more!  :)"  )
