But: If it bother's him, why would he be so willing to explain this insult so that those who had no clue what it meant (such as myself) are now in on it? > That should be considered > off limits even in the world of usenet, yet it seems that Koenig gets a pass > from almost everyone concerned.

But his behaviour shows that it doesn't bother him. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard."

Not strange for someone who values quality company. I have one home course 20-30 min away and another 1h15. Different guys, both quality groups. -- bill-o Play the ball as it lies.
