That's OK. I was feeling jocular and didn't read or spell check. And
right here I emphasize I was joking around, not complaining.

<slap> me!

Has your memory gone? We joked about this earlier (weeks ago) and I
stated that I supported your terseness. And you replied in a friendly
fashion. But there was some understanding in there (IMO) that the
terseness also served another unstated purpose. I guess not.

NP for me. Just say shut up. No issues with that here.

If you want me to quit joking around with you, say it. I take no
offense.

Based on your previous though, I felt comfortable wise-cracking and that
you might get a chuckle.

In my reviews it was "Sheesh! You're sure hard to manage, but we don't
want to lose you!". They didn't understand there is no subordinate
relationship in my world... which they chose to enter! There are those
responsible for decision-making and directing my activities and those
responsible for making sure they are well-informed before those
decisions are made and directions issued. >>:-)

I'm attributing them to a poster based mostly on my *imagination* (which
is *much* more entertaining than the reality we can observe) and a
pattern observed over time were it is imagined the poster has made great
effort to conduct himself properly in the face of hideous laziness that
costs the time of others. I imagine he has hidden the angst quite well
and I am "anthropomorphizing" the URL, sparked by those things. By
posting as I do, I hoped to both joke around and leave a not-so-subtle
reminder to the OP that he's wasting others' time. And he can't gripe
about your post. It was correct and to the point. And I like to remind
in a way that is friendly in tone.

I enjoy a "friendly" place and have no issues with joshing. And will
stop if asked or told to do so.
