just getting started

[D Suding]

I'll say. Thanks. I guess I can put that sharp knife away.

Merle, if you were, in any way, *offended* by my remarks, I offer a most
sincere apology.  I did not write it to be mean, hurtful or rude. I
thought you would take my tongue-in-cheek advise, use punctuation, and
communicate your ideas with the pattern community a little more clearly.

Please, don't go away because of anything I said. Stay! There are lots of
very helpful people here that have the information which you seek.

I was kidding! That's what the ";-)" implies.

-D

P.S. Is that Merle as in "Merle Hyde?"
