Hee hee. Barry never did quite get it. I "posted out" (what a silly expression) *because I knew I was going away*. No point in hanging onto posts if you're not going to be able to use them. Same deal this time. Barry embarrassed himself quite thoroughly twice, once when he thought he'd caught me posting on TMFree during the time I said I'd be away, but it turned out he'd gotten the timestamping all bolluxed up. Then another time I'd said I'd be out of town and would have limited access to a computer, Barry got all excited when I made a post and suggested I'd been lying about going away. He even tried pinging me but couldn't do it properly and didn't get anywhere. Alex had to calm him down by verifying that I was indeed posting from another state. > Remember the Judy Stein rule: "Silence means > that you agree." "Silence can also indicate boredom with a topic that has meaning only to those who are attached to it, one way or another."--Barry Wright, #129968 <giggle> BTW--to no one's surprise, I'm sure--I never said what Barry put in quotes, at least not in those words, and certainly not in this context, where it's entirely inappropriate.
