Nothing is done here "at my expense," since I invest nothing of myself here. You guys (none of whom know one another in the real world) are the ones who feel a need to gang up on an anonymous, faceless individual who's only typing on a computer screen.
Oh, and I'd like to thank the people who responded rationally--both through posts and via freepmail--to this thread. There's so many idiots here.
It's been a blast, but I gotta go. Reality calls in the form of something fried downstairs and a good, cold Pinot Grigio I picked up the other day.
