Oh, sorry, you screwed up again. Never said I haven't used any of those words. That's more of your fantasy world, Barry. As to "comic emphasis," that's not done by using quote marks when it could be mistaken for a direct quote. You do it to imply the person you're attacking has actually *used* those words. But in many cases--one more time--they're from your fantasy world, not from the world the rest of us live in. ------------------------ Yahoo!
