<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My mistake it seems. I had only been reading bits
and pieces of that thread, but I kept seeing stuff about vacuums and such. I
thought the guy was serious. He sounded so! It just seemed to me to be
ridiculous for folks to keep responding to that nonsense - but now I see that
they were perhaps responding to a running joke. Okay, I guess the joke is on
me ;-). See, I do have some small sense of humor!

two dollars worth (inflation, you know). The humor issue comes up
periodically. We are a list made up of all sorts of folks
(obviously) but the one thing we have in common are computers with delete
keys. Personally, I enjoy a good chuckle, particularly at the end of
a long work day. Yes, some of the humor threads get a tad long, but
so what? I can choose to read them or not. The same for some
of the *serious* threads that get too longwinded! And, yes, I am a
professional. Does that negate having a sense of
humor?<BR></FONT> <BR><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>I'll close
