Jo, et al,
I would like to apologize to all Martians for my earlier comments. It was
insensitive, condescending, improper, and as Jo pointed out, Martians would
probably not "use such a verbose (and, I must say, archaic) style, or such
blatantly incorrect syntax." (I must add, however, that since I do not know
any Martians personally, this is just a guess.) I hope that I have not
offended anyone.
(I understand about it being Friday. I will try to go back to my insightful
and courteous self) :-)

Bonita,
As I find most of your posts to the list insightful and courteous, I am
dismayed
at your condescending remark about Martians. Martians would never use such a
verbose (and, I must say, archaic) style, or such blatantly incorrect
syntax. I'm
sure others on this list will agree that you owe all Martians an apology.
Jo
(Sorry; it's Friday--that's just where my mind went.)
