Gee, and all (well, mostly) I meant was that if I had to hear much
more of the glories of Texas, I was gonna begin a classic rant about
one of my favorite topics, George W. Bush (_and_ his daddy!). You
would think Philippics were named after me! Your computer would
smoke! Luckily for all, this was forestalled by a wise ELA. But I
also thought excessive dumping, even if misinterpreted, was wrong,
too.

Yes, fine, but sometimes even asking an innocent question _at the
wrong time_ can encourage others to act badly. Like, say, if you were
to ask me what I think of The Eructant Dubyatante. That would be an
innocent question, but it would cause me to act very badly. ;-) .

contact me privately, OK?)

Respectfully --> Or, as an alternative, you could realize that real
life and dealing with others is _always_ about trying your best, even
if you don't always succeed, and stick around, learn, help others,
and have fun.
