Aw, Bill, now you've done it.

You have gone and hurt everybody's feelings.

You must know that all of us here under your watchful eye are serious, thoughtful, and considerate. We would never post anything frivolous or silly or unnecessary, or just stuff to make our presence known.

But then, come to think about it, yesterday I did submit a posting about possums ........
