- Uh-oh. Heh. Looks like I have some apologizing to do. I just
- read a post by Mr. Pundurs in which he maintains that his
- statement above was made for the purpose of illustrating
- perceived absurdity in someone else's statement, long since
- deleted. My comments above are therefore somewhat meaningless
- (even though they're still technically correct :-).
-
- Sorry, Mark. I shouldn't have been so hasty.
