Fair enough; I’ll tone down the rhetoric.
(belated apoligies, I’ve had enough out-and-out trolls on COVID threads lately that I’ve started to engage my “R2D2 CIWS anti-troll rhetoric” on first detection, not on threat confirmation.)
I've always thought that you were pretty cool, so no harm done. Particularly when you didn't do anything that warranted an apology. We techie types really must squabble, or it wouldn't be any fun.
