You know that I didn't say that don't you? I was quoting a poster whose screen name is "alloysteel", which made the comment even odder.

I realize you were quoting someone else.
I though I had made that apparent in my post.
I'm sorry you misunderstood. Following is your original post:

"The steel mines could almost be closed down for several months"
Steel mines?
End of your post.

I thought I was merely agreeing with you that there is no such thing as a steel mine.
I guess I'll just throw myself on my sword.
I apologize again for offending you so much. I hope that you can find it in your heart to possibly think of entertaining the thought of possibly considering the possibilrty of taking into consideration this heart-felt apology.
