Ok, see, now you nailed me. It may have been an intentional play on words, but I don’t know, since I never read the article. Now I have to read it.
My apologies Dan. I was wrong!
Thanks. I hope you enjoy the article. Satire is not my usual bag, but it is difficult to deal with some things in any other way.
Mi two...lol
