   Seemed like a legitimate question. If you're that thin skinned, perhaps   
   you'd be better off in a moderated group.

   I Did ask you the question. The fact that you'd answer a complete   
   stranger in such detail astonishes me. Well, perahps (I liked that typo,   
   so I decided to leave it - has a nice ring) 'astonishes' is a bit over   
   the top. Certainly interesting. But not something I would do.
