Chris -

you thought i was serious??? i'm so sorry!

"Patrick, I am sorry that you feel the way that you do and that my criticism prompted such a knee-jerk reaction of name-calling."

no, my post was carefully and painfully crafted to be funny. that's why i explained my situation, to show i was kidding. i guess i was too deadpan about it.

i'm proud to be an unwashed lout, myself, so it's an honor for me to include you.

you had good points (FAK, shaving here and there, etc), and I will refer back to your post as time rolls along.
