Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Another way to put it: If you are *nowhere*, how could you possibly be lost?

You took it far more *seriously* than I intended it for Bill! I think your expression naturally lead itself to a humorous end and thus, I expressed it! I think maybe, you take all this far too seriously Bill! This was just a light-hearted fun [just like my remarks to Patricia] and some *dead* serious argument! Take it easy! Regards, ac.

How is that being *so serious*? Even now, having heard your explanation that it was a joke, I don't see the joke in it. What would you rather I do, if I don't understand what you say. Just pass on? I was simply being polite in saying I didn't get what you said. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
