Actually, all I meant was that my reply was rather
perfunctory & superficial compared to your own more
thought out & well researched answer to the original
query. My tone was meant to be ironic but the irony was at my
own expense, not yours. I was impressed by the depth of your
reply. (No, that's not meant to be ironic, or sarcastic,
whichever is more appropriate). Perhaps I should go back to
using smileycons :-)
Rene PS - I realise that your own posting is not completely
without an ironic tone also. I'm not getting toey, I just
thought I should point out I wasn't having a laugh at your
expense. I promise you, I'm much less subtle in that area
than you may think.When I have a dig, everyone knows.
