[Mr. Silverback]

Mr. Silverback, you always keep the conversation at a respectful level.

Oh, if only I could live up to that! You are quite literally too kind, since I am so often curmudgeonly. Actually, I don't think you said anything nasty in this conversation, but even so I appreciate the sentiment. Have a great day.

since I am so often curmudgeonly.

I shoot (sometimes) for curmudgeonly, which is actually an art form. But when I throw a sinker, it hits the low bar because, well, doggone it, I think at the moment I have to, to make my point.

Thanks to YOU and g'night and great day.

Nope, I overestimate my intellect all the time.

Every time I do that I get:

1) An FR Timeout (when I REALLY think I am Up There) [only twice truth be told]; or

2) Someone who is truly smarter than me (many here at FR) who point out just how FACTUALLY wrong and/or LOGICALLY wrong I am. Man, that stings worse than the timeout!

(Ya know, since I am here, didja ever notice that DU and KOS actually PROMOTE Self-Importance? Interesting, yes?)

OK, we're all agreed. We all suffer from the same malady on occasion.

Have a good day!
