> Hi bob- I'm afraid you're mistaken this time.
... maybe you, too, fred -- bob ain't boBB ain't Dr. Bob. ;^)
[hmmm ... I could always go back to my old "Bob (not Dr.)" moniker ... I was a capital-B back then ... ah, the good old days ....]
Personally, I'm glad you've found a way back. Mark has a rather good habit of reminding us of how much we have to learn from everyone. This seems particularly true here since our stories are all unique and yet so similar at the same time.
... although your not being Fred Stone was pretty damn inconvenient for my joke ;^)
Dr. Bob:
I think most of us realize you need no defending. But pardon us for *wanting* to defend you. It's an expression of gratitude and thanks for this space and the wealth of information at this site. It's sad when such "expressions of gratitude" are given with a little too much, well, zeal and fervor, particularly given your desire to maintain some peace around here. But as you said, it goes with the territory.cheers,
bobps to all y'all:
If you folks ever REALLY want to see "petty", you should attend a research conference. It's so amusing to see just how catty supposedly intelligent, mature, responsible adults can be when it gets down to a matter of tenur-, er, reputa-, no, um, ... SCIENCE!Yeah, that's the ticket ... a matter of science.
