troglodytes

[gordon stelter]

Thanks, Andrew, 
   I'm just trying to be helpful. And, yes, we should
all remember to keep our "sense of humor" when reading
list stuff.  Something meant as a little "tease" is
not meant as a hateful insult, but could be taken as
such  by someone tired, with a  headache, after a
rough day, etc..  

     Peace,
     G

P.S. Or from Texas.
