Right, and now that Andrew has asked, I, for one, will
comply. I'd never directly attibute something to
someone anyway out of courtesy. But, my contention is
not the act that started this mess, but the rather
hostile on-list response. A response was probably
warranted, but there was nothing in the original post
that warrented the hostility.
