Hello Jeff.

Why do these things bother you? Are you that insecure in yourself that
lighthearted comments made to others tear you down?

 DD>>  Maybe you're so arrogant that you think that

 JS>     Again not at all. But thanks for illustrating my point.

Your point is that you choose to be offended by others comments? Get real,
there will always be people who will say things you disagree with. That's life.
Get over it. If let these insignificant thing bunch up your panties you'll live
the remainder of your life dependant on the drug giants (and sitting
uncomfortably).

 JS>>>     The way Björn worded his statement? Yes. Wait David until

 DD>> It ain't ever going to happen. I have no delusions of grandeur -

 JS>     You.. You.. Björn defender!

 JS>     See? You can be insulted. <g>

I wasn't insulted by that - if I won't take offence/insult you cannot give it.
Obviously certain people can choose to be offenced/insulted by any remarka made
by others. That is their choice, their right and their bloody problem. This
isn't just about the Bjorn/Wards chatter - every thing said everywhere can be
deemed offensive/insulting by someone else.

 DD>> Maybe you could learn something from that.

 JS>      I am always willing to learn.

You haven't displayed too much of that lately.

David
