It was not intended as a smartass remark, and I don't appreciate being
called a smartass (even if I am one.) Nevertheless, it's clear that you
believed it was. I accept responsibility for all this miscommunication.
Therefore:
I am sorry for responding to your post in a smartass manner. I will attempt
to refrain from doing so in the future. I also apologize for my poor math.
Had I not been so stupid, I would have seen that it was closer to 10 ft and
not have asked the question. I chalk it up to a senior moment.
I still don't understand exactly how this justifies calling me names, but
let's just forget it and try to be at least civil to each other.
That you hate hockey is irrelevant. I love it. I grew up with it in Quebec,
forgot it when my family moved to Vermont, took it up again when Mom & Dad
moved to the Adirondacks, lost touch with it when I was forced to join the
Air Force to avoid the draft in '67.
It's just an automatically attached tag line. It's not personal. It's not
written with anyone in mind. Therefore it is not about you.
Regards,
Bob...
Give blood. Play hockey.
